This etching presents a heavy, layered form resembling a shell or vessel, suspended above a fractured ground plane and shedding root-like growths below. Foliage and jagged extensions radiate outward, while fragments drift through the air as if caught in a slow collapse. The composition emphasizes weight and gravity, with dense line work giving the form a grounded, almost immobile presence despite its suspension. The Coming of the Cocklicranes" refers to a series of four etchings by artist David Avery from 2015.
