Ann, and as you may have heard, our co-host Ricky Tims, share a love of ravens. "Shiny Objects"' featured fabric bird is of course the magical and intelligent raven, though many who see it at first believe it is a crow. Ann says of her work, "On my walk yesterday, I heard a raven's caw. With its deep, moving resonance, from the top of a redwood tree. Calling out to the world on its journey. This scrappy raven has been on a journey too, over many months this last year. Stitched. Unstitched. Ripped out. Rearranged. Stitched some more. It's been that kind of year in general. But you never give up."
