"I painted the Raven with the beak intact. I didn't realize this right away so I gave it this title to tell of the moment before the fisherman rips the beak from Raven with a fish hook to avenge the loss of the bait that Raven had been stealing and for the loss of the halibut.
In the top corner I have the fisherman rendered in ghost forms to place the viewer in the undersea realm watching the scene from the same perspective as the Raven and Halibut. I was thinking of their view of the human world and the undersea creatures viewing us from under water. Must appear equally complex to us looking at their world."
-Robert Davidson from Echoes of the Supernatural pg. 145
