I really like the fact that it's instantly recognizable as a barn owl at a glance, but the longer you look at it the LESS it looks like one. There's something very disquieting about the way the head is structured.

I don't feel like the girl is 'connected' to the slab of rock she's leaning against - it's almost like you weren't sure if she should be crouching in an action pose ready to flee (which the upper body implies), or pressing back against the stone for safety (which the lower body seems to support).



Really pretty work though, very striking!



(support... hah hah i make funny)
