The Berserkers

Inspired by Odins raven’s, Huginn and Muninn who see everything in the past, present and future. Every morning at sunrise Odin sends them off to fly throughout all of the nine realms to gather information on what is happening. In my mind, these ravens are trying to make sense of the meaningless human behavior they see everywhere, such as ongoing fighting while eating magic mushrooms in order to become a “Berserker”.

Medium: Oil paint and glitter on a fishbone canvas, with an animation projected on it.

Size: 35” x 35”

Work process with the ravens, Huginn and Munninn

I use ancient shapes and ornaments of these ravens and figures from old jewelry and findings in graves. I make them my own by reimagining their colors, shapes and expressions. These are sketches and studies.
