Genius Loci: The Bird Room, Loveland, CO
By: Marielle Butters
In my youth my father bred birds – watching these magnificent creatures from my height of two feet I began to obtain the uncanny notion that they were not only imprisoned physically by a metal cage but they were, like people, mentally caged by schemas and perceptions strong as steel that may never be forsaken.
As a child I pitied the birds for living in such a small space, but in truth, that space is no smaller than that set aside for each person who can see only so far in a society plagued by hegemony.
Curator's note: Marielle is the niece of Looking for Loci contributor Alan Disparte.
