Raven Shouting Into the Wind

Ama Menec’s natural history sculptures focus primarily on endangered British animals, and those that have made a comeback such as the Wild Boar, Ravens and Moose. Ama also focusses on lesser known or appreciated native British wildlife such as Great Diving Beetles, Adders and Cinnabar Moths, all of which are in need of the good PR brought with depictions in art. There is a story of personal interaction behind each sculpture. 

 

Ama is influenced by early 20th century stone carving, particularly Art Deco, the qualities of line and use of negative spaces. Her wall hanging sculptures are often inspired by wood cut and lino print composition combined with architectural stone carving techniques. She has strived for a similar look, by carving back leather hard clay using sharp steel tools, like a softer form of stone carving or engraving.

I love all the corvid family, for their intelligence, beauty, raucousness and playfulness. I particularly love how Ravens give it their all when then are calling and have such a wide range of vocalisations. I'd love to learn more about the language of Ravens.
