Fledgling

Made of the dense texture of dark metal and held on a solid wooden base, the figure of the raven embodies the duality between nature and industrial armour. The overlapping plates of its plumage and the subtle riveted harness across its torso evoke an ancestral suit of armour. It is a piece that captures the instant of watchful stillness of a raven forged in iron, in which the heaviness of matter bends with delicacy to give life to an enigmatic, protective presence.
