Time to get back into the studio and continue works-in-progress. This is a paper-cutting design that I’ve been playing with entitled Smoke Clearing Kananaskis Country. Its inspiration is a photo I took summer 2018 in the Canadian Rockies when lots of smoke was pouring into the Valley from forest fires.

I spent time watching this Raven or rather trickster, as I prefer to see the Raven as a symbol of change and transformation (for the good), dancing about as we enjoyed a break from the thick smoke lingering down in the Valley.
