We all have our own blackbird…perched on the shed roof or a wall at dusk. A sentinel at the end of the day, clear-eyed and watching. This small mezzotint is one of several I’ve made over the years to honour these so familiar, and yet still special birds.
Printed on Arches Moulin du Gué paper in a blue-black ink
As we gradually climb out of winter, the blackbirds are still feasting on the hawthorn and crab apples outside the studio. With their extraordinary clear-eyed gaze, territorial squabbles, panicky evening calls and sharp outline they are, for me, a perennial subject and constant source of wonder and distraction.
There are Just 4 of these little mezzotints remaining from an edition of 20
