Oyster catchers are shore birds living on the edge of where two worlds meet. Through supernatural contact with these birds It is possible to slip between time and enter realms where time folds in on itself, and new perceptions of reality are shown to the one making the journey. Often in these realms time moves different than ours here. The one who has made contact becomes a time traveller experiencing large lapses in time where it feels like they have only been gone a few days when actually it has been several years or visa versa.
This piece captures a moment within this supernatural experience where our time traveller has successfully slipped in between time and has begun a journey to find new understanding about himself and the world we live in.
