About the artwork
This wood engraving captures elements of folk lore around Blackbirds. The sun and the moon highlight that they sing at dawn and dusk and their song can be both auspicious and a warning. The standing stones reflect their role as boundary keepers between worlds. The earth, air, fire and water elements reflect Celtic themes around time. The title comes from a line from a poem which says 'I will only give up my wild hope when the last blackbird on earth fails to gather moss in March'.
