Original artwork description:
A mosaic inspired by a myth from Norse mythology :
" Hraesvelg, he is called,
who sits at heaven’s end,
a giant in eagle’s shape.
From his wings,
it is said, the winds
blow over all men"
(The Sibyl’s Prophecy. 37)
On further research I discovered that it is also an Anebeki Native American Indian legend and this was probably the earlier legend. The Wind Eagle, known as Wuchowsen.
Please note: This mosaic is unsuitable for outdoors.
Materials used:
glass tile, ceramic tile
