The Whale's Way

Been meaning to post about this piece! It's a mixed media/collage/papercut piece based on the poem "The Whale's Way". Unfortunately the author of this English poem is unknown but it is from 9th century.

The Whale's Way

My heart leaps within me

My mind roams with the waves

Over the whale's domain, it wanders far and wide

Across the face of the earth, returns again to me

Eager and unsatisfies; the solitary bird screams,

Irresistible, urges the heart to the whale's way

Over the stretch of seas

Below are some pictures of the work in progress, from sketching and planning to final image.

   

Unfortunately this didn't get into an Art show down south but gonna enter this bad boy in some more art shows. Fingers cross peeps!
