R37 Ravens on the Brain

The fleshy portions add an organic quality...in fact, the picture appears almost to be growing or spreading.

The 'brain' sequence shows the dark flutter of ideas, my beloved ravens, coming to the artist's mind.  The raven's eye, sight above sight, bits of wings passing like eidolons through other more physical parts and surfaces, as the intersecting of limitless planes, varous levels of perception.  Repeated scale, cell, cloud, dome of bubble motifs representing infinite replication and a sort of binary patterning to our nature, our being, whether broken down to the smallest unit of cells or atoms, or built to the last greatest universal structure, made up of variations of the same elements.
