This is a handcrafted linocut print inspired by the Slavic folk heroine and wilderness creatrix Baba Yaga. Baba Yaga is a courageous crone who dares to dance with the dying and also the mystical old mother who midwifes new life. She is a time spinner, a bone picker, a magic maker, a wild forager, a wilderness witch. This includes Baba Yaga herself, her little cabin on chicken legs and small grove of birch trees because Baba Yaga is known to live in the heart of a birch forest and she sweeps with a silver birch broom in her hands! There are also additional characters that appear in one folktale Baba Yaga which includes a falcon and a heroine named Katrina.
