Description:
Crow serves as the gatekeeper to the void, the void being the formless world of spirit. Crow can travel between the spirit world and the phenomenal or physical world of reality. Crow's black feathers retain elements of the substance of the void with their subtle, fluctuating iridescence.
There are many stories from many cultures that talk about how Crow played an important role in the development and evolution of humanity including the bringing of light out of the darkness. This painting depicts Crow in the between space of spirit and the physical world.
This is one of the first paintings that I felt really spoke directly to me and had a consciousness of its own. I believe all my paintings, when I am working on them, are alive in some way. But usually they simply resonate with the energy that I focus on when I paint them. This painting was unique and individual and had its own personality and energy independent of my own. I talked to this painting. She told me what she wanted.
I started this painting without a preliminary drawing, I just started applying paint and Crow began to emerge. This was a new experience for me, since I usually draw an outline on the canvas for a guide. As a result, I was constantly surprised by what began to emerge. The background fluctuated, it was one thing, then another, until a dark void appeared. I went to bed at night and through dreams Crow assured me that she knew what she was doing, which meant that I just had to trust myself. So, I became a witness to my own painting. It was a revelation for me.
