Description
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.
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.
