Nocturne- photopolymer etching, edition of 3, 2024.

Two birds huddled together on a branch. A simple photo, involving two pigeons acting like lovebirds.

Print it in pale green on a dark background, and the image takes on a menacing quality, the bareness of the branches creating an almost hostile environment around the birds, who appear to seek protection and comfort from each other in the darkness of the night..

Print it in a blue green gradient on a white background, and the image become hopeful, the birds enjoying an early spring day cooing at each others, while the tree prepares to bud and bloom in the warmer weather.
