The Raven & Berry

Mahogany, Stained Glass

An exterior threshold work developed as a sculptural interpretation of the Inuit legend of the Raven & the Berry

The work explores themes of light, transformation, and renewal through carved form, stained glass, and architectural presence.

Designed as an entrance piece, it was developed to reveal itself gradually through changing light and approach.

Origin

The piece draws inspiration from the Inuit story of the Raven and the Berry, a tale that speaks to the return of light and the possibility of renewal.

Rather than illustrating the story directly, the carving responds to its spirit through rhythm, movement, and form.
