THE BARN OWL AND THE POPPY, mystery, mediumship, dreaminess
The barn owl is a symbol of mystery, concealment and mediumship. With its piercing cry and its very particular face, it undeniably gives off an aura of mystery. Across different cultures, it is associated with death and more particularly with communication with the deceased.
The poppy, a well-known opiate, symbolizes rest, letting go and dreaminess.
Acrylic paint + protective varnish on birch wood. Unique piece hand painted.
Dimensions of painted wood: approximately 17.5 cm in length, 16.3 cm in width, 1.5 cm in depth.
Reindeer antler dimensions: approx. 20 cm length, 31 cm width.
These pieces are made exclusively from recycled wood that I find during my wanderings in the forest. I search for them, give them the desired shape and sand them myself.
The reindeer antlers come from a Sami herd.
