This piece has an interesting name. I sometimes title it “Crow with Rope”, but its “true” name is “Are You Ready To Go Now”, inspired by the Coil song “Going Up”. Listen closely, and you’ll hear Jhon Balance asking “Are you ready to go now?” at the very beginning of the track I listened to this song extensively during a time of transition when I made this piece, and as such, it represents a time of transition in my own life. The rope, with both of its ends visibly cut, represent transportation into a new sphere of consciousness, with the crow as a vehicle. Scratchboard and watercolor 5”x7”
