In Bird Grid, Stacey Lee Webber intricately hand-saws birds from foreign and American coins, capturing their delicate forms in metal with a jeweler’s precision. Each bird, carefully extracted from its original context, is mounted on soldered brass posts and set against a painted wood backing. Encased in a handmade steel frame with an acrylic face, the piece transforms currency into a celebration of nature, flight, and freedom. By preserving these avian figures from coins across different cultures, Bird Grid highlights the universal symbolism of birds as messengers, guardians, and emblems of transformation.
