Borges talks of the Simurgh, a spirit of Middle Eastern mythology; an eagle made up of 30 separate eagles.
when I read this I thought of Willie Mays’s catch. He was an eagle and the baseball was his prey. I am trying to figure out how I build my Mays of thirty separate Mays will I use the same drawing repeatedly or work with different images? I’m not really sure yet. The idea is still rather in its infancy.
I do know that Mays is a perfect alignment for myth. All of the old timers were. It is a wonder what baseball is without a thousand different camera angles over telling the story.
