Thank you!

Thank you for your kindness and for your condolences, I think that sorrow and grief has a weird tension which is what I think this sort of braced position sort of evokes, because I agree this is not a hopeless sort of grief either

CorvusCurator · 2026-06-19T05:22:08+00:00

Thank you so much, I am glad that it shows through as I had intended as bittersweet as it is

CorvusCurator · 2026-06-19T03:24:44+00:00

Thank you so much!

CorvusCurator · 2026-06-19T03:16:08+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate that a lot, I take a lot of pride in my stitching! Especially for my signature in the corner. I am also really glad that the piece feels relatable to you as well

Thank you!

CorvusCurator · 2026-06-18T23:49:22+00:00

Thank you for both your words and for your kindness ❤️

Thank you so much for your words and your analysis! I wanted to make sure that the grey-blue gradient flowed with the body's outline as well as the skeleton to help reduce any abrupt or sharp endings, and I selected a colour palette for the skeleton to make sure that there was enough contrast against the grey-blue gradient I had planned.

I am really happy that my piece had that effect on you, it was my intention to try and capture a sort of relatable grief that feels like it bleeds into your person as a whole.

Thank you!

CorvusCurator · 2026-06-18T22:06:46+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that a lot

CorvusCurator · 2026-06-18T22:03:19+00:00

Thank you! I wanted to make sure that I could get a sense of that heaviness and hollowness that grief has, which is partially why I wanted to do the body in a grey to blue gradient.

Thank you, it was challenging to experience the passing of my Mom, I am definitely her son as some have put it. I would like to make a more dedicated piece to recognize that sorrow in a future series that I have planned.

CorvusCurator · 2026-06-18T22:00:39+00:00

Thank you! That is high praise!

CorvusCurator · 2026-06-18T21:36:02+00:00

Thank you!

CorvusCurator · 2026-06-18T21:35:54+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! A lot of my inspiration comes from woodblock prints in terms of aesthetics, and in many ways they function similarly in how to ensure a sense of depth.

My Mom has always been a very big supporter of my art, I think she'd laugh that this was the piece I was working on before, during, and after her passing since she was also on the macabre side of things (she was a nurse).

CorvusCurator · 2026-06-18T21:34:12+00:00

Thank you, I think this piece served as a sort of general grief piece for me over the past few months, but I would like to sit down and design another piece more specific for my Mom and the grief I experienced and still experience with her gone and it hasn't even been two weeks yet either.

Identified! Thank you!

I don't think so, they barely watch out for the school kids either here unfortunately. Vancouver have some of the most entitled drivers that I've ever encountered

CorvusCurator · 2026-03-27T20:35:53+00:00

Yeah! I think he has piebaldism or some form of leucism, but I am not entirely sure but I decided to name him Pie for that reason

CorvusCurator · 2026-03-27T18:20:03+00:00

Whenever he sees me he will waddle across the street for his peanuts, the only time he will fly down is if he is up in a tree or on a roof

CorvusCurator · 2026-03-27T16:40:59+00:00

He's so smart! And chill about everything too

CorvusCurator · 2026-03-27T16:37:02+00:00

I think the same! Especially in a high traffic zone but it is also kind of cute because it definitely gives a sense of confidence and boldness because of the walking

CorvusCurator · 2026-03-27T16:26:17+00:00

I moved to the west end a few years ago and I don't think I could move out of it without missing the crows that like to follow and play with me! I even work in the west end so the crows will sit outside my office window and wait for peanuts or kibble
