In Norse lore, the squirrel Ratatoskr is the tireless inhabitant of the World Tree, Yggdrasil. This mythical tree spans the universe, its branches reaching into the nine realms of the heavens, its leaves collecting the songs and stories of the cosmos. As a messenger, Ratatoskr scampers eternally between the celestial eagle above and the dragon at the roots, connecting the divine with the terrestrial. In this assemblage, each ring represents a distant world, and every leaf holds an infinity of epic tales of cosmic creation and destruction. In actuality, each of the leaves on this work has its own song and story as they were collected over many months of second-hand treasure hunting. It takes a good size collection of "found objects" and a lot of iteration to put together a symmetrical design like this. It's like putting together a puzzle without a picture to go by. 31 × 13 inches.
