Drawn from a recent sketch by Stanley Mouse, this image reflects the continued evolution of a visual language that has spanned decades. The rose—long associated with the iconagraphy surrounding the Grateful Dead—is here fused with winged form, suggesting motion within a single unified structure..

The composition is reduced to line and contour. Unlike earlier works built through narrative or emblem, this image resolves as a su=ingle gesture—balanced, contained, and direct

In carving this piece, the emphasis lies in precision. Each cut defines the form, allowing the image to emerge through structure rather than surface.

Within The Eleven Collection, Winged Rose represents the present tense—an image that extends the visual language forward.
