Canary

Canary, 2018, drypoint, 19.75 x 13.75 cm

This is a drypoint of an image based on a detail from one of my paintings. In the painting the canary was done from a taxidermied model. Much of the ink was left on the plate, with the middle section wiped in the parts I wanted. The dark sections have been deeply inscribed to hold the ink, even though it remained untouched during the wiping process.
