From the Designer:
No Bird Soars Too High could be considered a remix of an antique sampler. Sometime in the late 18th or early 19th century, an unnamed girl stitched a beautiful sampler on fine linen. The problem with the sampler was that it was both in very bad condition (you can see the original sampler on the back of this booklet) and slightly uneven in stitching.
Though it’s not uncommon for a sampler to be stitched rather unevenly (I hardly have any samplers in my collection that are evenly stitched!), my reasoning for remixing the sampler was that I didn’t like the verse too much. I wasn’t too keen on how it was stitched, and the words didn’t speak to me. This set me on a quest to find a saying that was related to birds, but wouldn’t be too commonly known either.
I stumbled upon William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven & Hell (1790). The book contains many fascinating and strange proverbs. I love how Blake challenges his readers, making them want to challenge what they know and what they think they know. The verse seems extra fitting as the sampler is most likely made within the first decades after the publication of William Blake’s work.
