The Children of Winter (drawing)
Image Description
Drawn in dark charcoal, a female-presenting figure stands in darkness, holding a branch in their left hand as a staff. What can be seen of their face and body is daubed in dark painted lines and symbols.
On their head appear to be antlers fashioned from small twisted branches of a tree, and around their neck is a torc and a roughly-fashioned twine necklace on which hang two corvid skulls.
Artist’s Notes
We are the wolves that haunt you on the coldest days, when the frost bites hardest.
We are the Last of England.
There will be no rebirth,
no new society rising,
only the endless fear of the hunt.
Do not dare to dream of the Spring.
We are the Children of Winter.
