Wistful Raven
The artwork is a vibrant felted depiction of a black raven set against an intense, fiery red background. The raven's feathers are rich with deep shades of black and purple, highlighted with subtle hues of blue, creating texture and depth. Surrounding the raven are glowing wisps of yellow and white, enhancing the bird’s prominence. Small abstract accents of various colors like turquoise, pink, and yellow appear in the background, adding energy and contrast to the composition. The overall effect is bold and dynamic, with a strong focus on the raven as the central figure.
This piece was one of 23 felted artworks in Vicki’s three-month solo exhibition at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.
