Crows Ascending

Crows Ascending is a very moving and quietly passionate remembrance of [Elliot Ross’s] brother’s (and so many others’) passing during COVID.  The metaphor of earthly escape is powerful. It is also beautifully designed and produced. – Barbara Tannenbaum (Chair of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs – The Cleveland Museum of Art)

During the pandemic years, Elliot Ross captured images of crows taking to the air from the roofs surrounding his apartment on Russian Hill in San Francisco, California.

It became a contemplative piece of art about one of the most intelligent bird species in existence.

Description

We decided to design and publish an artist’s book-like publication, though with a normal print run of course. Only a small selection of the very best images were used for this exquisitely produced book.

Crows Ascending is dedicated to the memory of Elliot’s younger brother Michael. Michael had a profound intellectual disability caused by lifelong epilepsy. He survived a severe case of Covid-19 in 2020 only to die of Parkinson’s-related pneumonia months later. It is also dedicated to the millions of others who have suffered or died in the United States – many due to government inaction – from Covid-19.
