TIM/OWL, Riva Lehrer © 2011 charcoal drawing with Japanese, Mexican, and Indian papers, wire, glass, metal, twigs and Bible pages

This amazing work by my dear friend Riva Lehrer is part of her show currently at Printworks Gallery in Chicago until February 4. I would highly recommend seeing the show if you are in the Chicago area.

In an interview in the Chicago Gallery News Riva said the following about this work:
TIM/OWL became a double portrait. Tim, who is a painter, has thought deeply about what it means to be human through his own extensive portraiture of Temma. He is partly clad in the costume, a wing strapped to one arm. As metaphors, owls are avatars of wisdom - wisdom that’s often cryptic and delivered in obscure terms. Temma allows Tim to think outside the boundaries of his own body and consider what humanity means in abstract, spiritual, wordless realms of being.
