‘Sparrow and Curlew,’ like a good chunk of my other work, speaks of nostalgia and sentimentality. Both the Sparrow and the Curlew represent people I love; in turn, I assigned them visual patterns that similarly represent their nature and personalities. The map depicts their migration patterns, outlining, like one might describe a bird’s migration, the ebb and flow of these peoples’ places.

This is a hand printed piece that combines both silkscreen (the color) and lithography (the black linework). The silkscreen portion is 4-layers, and the lithography is a grease-pencil drawing printed from a traditional lithographic stone (a process that is becoming archaic as these stones, harvested from a single quarry, disappear). Created in a limited edition of 12, this particular print is on Rives lightweight, a cream colored paper. Each print is numbered and signed by the artist.
