| Artist Comments: The raven has gravitas. This is perhaps because of intelligence as well as large size and serious black colour. There is nothing frivolous about the raven; even so, ravens enjoy playing, performing impressive aerobatics seemingly for the joy of it. Their vocalizations go beyond mere bird cries - they seem to almost talk to each other. The raven has a privileged position in many native cultures as a trickster - he is the hero of disorder, transformation and change. In legend, it is the raven who found mankind in a clamshell, cracked it open and released us into the world. |
