Although now removed from the ceremonial context in which they were once danced, the two parts of Seven Ravens are more than the elegant resolution of another formal problem for the system to solve, set by having to divide seven into two.  This work has a story to tell in more senses than one.  Raven, the hero of a culture that has survived, has been given another way to carry its power far beyond Haida Gwaii. –Artist statement
