The Rescue fine art print

Part of The Last Quartets art series, The Rescue depicts my vision of the fourth movement of Schubert's last string quartet: D.887 in G major. Cracked and mentally broken, the crow still feels a sense of tottering dignity. As much as she wants to give up and fall over from the exhaustion of life, her soul has grown into a mature vine that is now holding her up. Trauma still burns within her like a poison, something that will need to be danced out in a tarantella. Meanwhile, the crow has changed the way she remembers that trauma to make her life more meaningful. As much as she has softened that pain, the body always remembers how sharp it was to begin with.

My vision for the four collages that make up this Schubert quartet is a story about the pain of earthly incarnation and the ways we alchemize that pain to create a meaningful life for ourselves.

This listing is for a fine art print on archival matte paper. The print continues to the edges with no border and ships rolled from my print on demand company. To flatten, place a heavy book on top for a day or two. Please choose your size below, either 8, 10, or 12 inches.
