Forged from discarded gears, wrenches, and other reclaimed metal, Corvus Machina merges the organic form of a raven with the intricate beauty of machinery. Each component is hand-selected and welded to evoke feathers, wings, and talons, capturing the intelligence and mystery of this mythic bird. Part of an emerging series of corvid-inspired works, this sculpture is a meditation on transformation — finding grace and spirit in the remnants of industry.
In myth, the raven is a messenger, trickster, and guide — a creature who slips between realms of shadow and light. Corvus Machina carries this archetype into the industrial age, built from fragments of humanity’s machines, repurposed into the wings of a bird that cannot be silenced. Each gear, wrench, and shard of metal was once a tool of labor, yet together they become something luminous, an echo of flight and freedom.
This sculpture exists in the liminal space between natural and mechanical, a reminder that the spirit can outlive its body, even when forged in steel. Like Odin’s ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who brought memory and thought across worlds, Corvus Machina becomes both sentinel and oracle — a presence that watches with intelligence born not of circuitry, but of myth.
