During the mid to late 1990s Kenojuak Ashevak was experimenting with surprisingly different compositions and colours in her drawings. These two finely detailed birds are typical of her style, with meticulously rendered pen and ink bodies and multicoloured fantastic feathers. Here, however, they are placed in a dynamic landscape filled with energetic and occasionally abstracted elements. The sinuous shoreline, green tundra, and distant hills at sunset recur in several drawings from this period, suggesting that they are based on her memories. With Two Ravens on the Land, Ashevak successfully combines colour and lively patterns into a cohesive, beautiful, and powerful drawing.
