Lightning flashes in the distance as Jacques, the steampunk-enhanced raven, caws out a warning to passersby. He’s perched on a weathered, poorly-carved sign which hangs outside a run-down bar. The seedy setting, creepy low light, and dramatic three-point perspective give the viewer a feeling that “bad things are coming”. Despite the unsettling vibe, Jacques himself is sleek and well-kept, and he sports a polished metal wing. Someone out there clearly cares about him. It’s a peculiar juxtaposition between a treasured raven and the sense of impending doom he is foreshadowing. This quilt is made from more than 1200 pieces of fused appliqué fabric (no paint) quilted with polyester thread.
