Karasu Yatagarasu
Karasu-Yatagarasu is an ongoing compilation of drawings, monotypes and mixed-media works featuring crows, three-legged mythological birds and ungainly flightless birds under the sub-heading 'not everybody gets to be cute'. These birds may represent my inner and outer journey as migrant and outsider.
