In Norse mythology, Odin’s ravens, Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory), fly across the world each day. Odin feared Muninn’s return most of all – a fear of losing memory itself.

In this series, I imagine Muninn swallowing the sun, carrying its fire within him, so that memory can never fade or be lost.

This vision became the “Crow/Raven Who Swallowed The Sun” series.
