Young Raven is a fine example of the expressive potential of stencil printing. The bird’s form is built from broad, velvety passages of ink, the stencil application creating a surface that reads as soft and downy. The monochromatic palette is enlivened by tonal shifts: the wings and tail deepen into dense blacks, while the body softens into a gentler grey that gradually cascades into the deep darkness of the belly and the talons. The round eye, a single sharp point of light, punctuates the composition and sharpens its focus. The result is a print of quiet strength, marked by technical finesse and atmospheric depth.
