In the quiet shadow of a forgotten battlefield, a murder of corvids picks through the remains, black wings silhouetted against a fading sky. This striking 28 x 28 cm linocut print captures a moment steeped in history, myth, and memory—a haunting tribute to the age-old role of ravens and crows as messengers, scavengers, and sacred watchers.
Drawn from the imagery of ancient warfare and folklore, this piece invites reflection on what lingers after the clash—what endures in silence once the swords have fallen. The corvids, both grim and wise, move through the aftermath with the calm authority of those who have seen it all before.
Handprinted using richly pigmented Cranfield oil-based ink on high-quality, textured Lokta paper, each print begins as an original hand-drawn design. It’s then carved into linoleum and pressed by hand, making every piece a singular work of art, marked by its own unique texture and character.
Slight variations and subtle imperfections are part of the charm of traditional lino printing—proof of the artist’s hand and the process behind the image.
