We dream of flying but we are genetically earth bound. To appropriate the gifts of flight we create idols to worship that are both animal and human – angels, Horus etc. In creating these ill-made idols ( they have one wing or only a hump where wings might grow) that cannot fly and cannot see or speak I am suggesting that our desire sits on us like a deformity but never the less the struggle of desire ennobles us and drives us on.
