Oisin Ewing is a multi-disciplinary artist who lives and works currently in Limerick. His work incorporates printmaking and photography and recently has taken on a sculptural element. He takes inspiration from his everyday surroundings and uses common entities for metaphorical representation of social and environmental issues.

For many, crows are objects of distaste, dirty scavengers who occupy our daily surroundings. For some they are intelligent, social and beautiful creatures. Crows are drawn to urban environments for their protection and thrive on the abundance of mankind’s wasteful decadence. They co-evolve with and perpetually serve as a reflection of urban life.

The work engages with the stigmas placed on crows, questioning the mark of infamy affiliated with them and suggests that the repulsion we humans have towards them is truly a reflection of our own undesirable traits and not the true nature of the crow. In a sense we are the crow.
