This unique cut of live edge basswood woodburned into whale art is engraved with Cormac McCarthy’s chilling, lyrical prose from Blood Meridian: “Where stars are drowning and whales ferry their vast souls,” signifying the end of something beautiful uniting with the infinite, cosmic beauty of the whale. I made this not knowing where it was going at first, but as the whale drifted across the wood, I was reminded of a recent devastating loss I endured, and how I imagined her beauty now amongst the sea’s cosmos. This art is meant to comfort. Size: 14”x12”x1” finished with Walrus Oil, ready to hang.
