Skybreaker Fine Art Print
Skybreaker: North American Megafauna Project, #3
Aiolornis incredibilis and bristlecone pine
It’s been ages now since Aiolornis incredibilis lived, but intriguingly, it’s likely one of it fellow species from the southwestern area of the United States is still around. In Skybreaker, the massively-beaked skull of Aiolornis incredibilis is twined with a lightning-like branch of bristlecone pine, a tree that has adapted to survive extraordinarily long periods of time. Though it’s twisty branches, worn smooth by the elements as the walls of wind-swept canyons, may seem dead, with how few needles they normally carry. But life thrives in these trunks for thousands of years. There are bristlecone pines still alive today that have been dated to close to five thousand years old. So, once a long time ago, Aiolornis incredibilis may have peered through its branches from above, searching for carrion just like it’s modern day ancestor, the California Condor, does now.
Printed on uncoated acid-free paper with fade-resistant, archival inks. 11” x 17”
Handle gently to avoid damaging the velvety texture of this print, and frame using archival materials for longevity of display.
