There’s a story behind this piece, from the title to the poem.
The poem is written by Damien Echols who currently resides on Arkansas death row for a crime he did not commit nearly thirteen years ago. I’m fortunate enough to have been granted permission by Damien to use his poetry in my work. The poem reads as follows:
Her eyes are chained angels,
Glittering and unconscious
Of the growing distance between us.
Her lips move,
Issuing a murmur
Like voices from a depth
That aren’t quite loud enough to hear.
Against the winter sky
A murder of crows
Wheels and turns

I;ve heard about this. Echols’ story isn’t overly known in Australia, but I do remember reading about it – he features quite a bit in political debates at my univercity, and i did do a bit of research into his story. I think its fantastic that you’ve taken a stance in this, and art is always such a wonderful way to fight for justice. I’m sure Echols is proud, and gratified, to have such a beautiful piece made for his situation, in his name.

I love both this one and “Soft Shadow.” Your work is stunning! The accompanying poetry is perfect for both pieces.

this really amazing…i truly love the idea of the prose within the picture, i think the composition works well, it’s very attractive. the prose means little to me but it’s fascinating all the same. well done.
