The chorus line represents four baby blue jays yelling for food. "We raised two blue jays after their parents abandoned the nest and I made careful drawings of them. When, some years later, the Vancouver Jewish Community Center held a fund-raiser with the local premiere of the film ‘Chorus Line,' local artists shared the event with artworks of the theme. I couldn't get excited about ladies in tights, so I made my version of the chorus line instead."

I was working on a sculpture of Elijah the Prophet being fed by ravens in the wilderness when I became enchanted by the ravens and decided to sculpt them on their own. The original sculpture of Elijah had ravens that were about an inch long, so I could not add much detail. Ravens are important to many cultures, including Norse myths and North American native stories. They are remarkably wily and intelligent birds and have a large repertoire of sounds.

"Then David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily." - 1st Samuel 24:5. During their flight from Saul, David and his men were sheltering in the cave at Ein Gedi. When Saul [who was pursuing David with murder in mind] and Saul's soldiers arrived at the cave, David and company retreated into the inner recesses of the cave. Saul slept. To show that he had no evil intentions toward Saul, David cut off a piece of Saul's robe when he could have just as easily cut his throat. Saul was not impressed and continued to pursue David.
