A lone raven stands poised atop the sun-bleached bones of a fallen saguaro; a glinting trinket caught in its beak. Layers of hand-dyed fabric, heavy thread painting, and mixed fibers bring the scene to life with rich texture and depth. Vivid desert hues—sky blues, rusted oranges, and sun-washed golds—surround the raven’s glossy black form, evoking both the stark beauty and quiet mystery of the Southwest. This piece captures a moment suspended in time: where nature’s remnants and vibrant life intertwine.
