When I found an empty nest in my garden, I decided to create a series of woodblocks using the nest. For this print, I drew the nest in charcoal directly on the block, then carved away the background. The nest was printed in brown ink over a background of bird and leaf shapes that burst from the center. The image becomes an icon to the circle of life, ecology and rebirth.
