Stone-Borne by Ryalvran

Ryalvran was conceived Midsummer 2019 while traversing the ancient standing stones and barrows of Avebury, England, and its environs. The catalyst lay in the discovery of a stump of a small tree cluster along a timeworn path connecting several Neolithic sites. Upon each of the round sawn surfaces was painted an anarchy symbol. The dichotomy of socio-political graffiti and sacred monuments in such an idyllic setting set the path of contemplation for the rest of the journey. The project is a distillation of the cyclic wanderings and ponderings of an unquiet mind, a reconciliation of the shamanic with the anarchic in a ritual landscape whose meaning and purpose have been lost to time. "Ryalvran" is a name found carved on a standing stone. It has been translated as "Royal Raven".
