The crow is the keeper of sacred law, crow can bend the laws of the physical universe. Crow sees the physical world and the spiritual world. Crow lives in the void and has no since of time. Crow sees simultaneously the three fates past present and future. Crow merges light and darkness seeing both inner and outer reality. The crow is a symbol that frequently appears in my life. When camping at lake mead we were parked at the base of crow mountain. A murder of crows lived in this mountain and circled it all day. One morning i decided to climb up to the mountain so I could exist on there level. after this communion with the crows I knew I wished to paint them as the inter dimensional creatures they where. I laid down the background on the canvas and taped it the night before. After descending the mountain I got to work painting. The background texture of the painting is circular groves symbolic of the cycle of time. The < > on each side represents the simultaneous expansion of time in both directions. Each < > are broken up in to three expanding sections representing past present and future.
