Hummingbird, Held

The bird holds its position while the wings refuse to. One pull for the body, ghost pulls for the blur. The only way I know to print a hover.

Every print here is pulled by hand from a block I carved. No two pulls are exactly alike. The ink sits a little differently each time, and the block leaves its own small marks in the margins. Printmakers call that chatter, and I leave it in on purpose. It is how you can tell a person made this. Finished prints leave the bench signed and numbered.
