Waking Crow

Waking Crow (wakingcrow.com) is a multimodal artist, poet, and photographer based in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California, where he lives in ancient Nisenan tribal lands bordering the Tahoe National Forest. His practice spans ceremonial and mythic photography, contemplative poetry, prose memoir, and music — including a decade of playing didgeridoo in support of ayahuasca ceremonies, as a ceremonial practitioner. His debut collection, Silhouettes Against a Dying Sun, works in high-contrast black and white, shadow and light as primary vocabulary, moving through recurring themes of ego dissolution, descent and return, and the sacred found embedded in the overlooked.

This is the formalization of his body of work.
