R10 Raven feeding Woman
5 x 5" ink on paper
Private collection
Raven feeding Woman: I was interested in the image of the bird giving food (ideas) to the artist, and there is a connection with the prophet Elijah being fed by ravens. However, this image, which is one of my all time favourite ink drawings, has been widely misinterpreted, and so a little spoiled for me.
I had been drifting for some time, quivering on a wingspan, suspended between concept and creation.
I waited.
As soon as her eye was in mine, I fell down upon her, dark vision.
Before I entered, I took her tongue, so that she would have to use her hands…
