nightingale

Woodcut 1.20m x 70 cm printed on Kozo and backed onto wood panel with fluorescent paint

This piece is just a fragment of what I hope to be a series of nightingale song strophes – recorded last year on April 17 . By using chinese ink to transfer the song strophe the wood changes the flow of the ink and these inconsistencies I have cut into the image. The bottom line is in fact noise interference although recorded in a wood there was very faint noise of traffic . I have allowed a certain amount of accident to emerge in the woodcut.
