    I created this image by appropriating John James Audubon’s original American Flamingo composition. Some Flamingo colonies reached over 1 million in Africa, so I wanted to express a feeling of frantic activity!

    Lyell Castonguay designed, carved, and printed this original artwork. Ink is applied to a carved wooden block and hand-pressed onto Stonehenge paper. Multiple carved blocks layer colors, resulting in a dramatic effect. The artist signed, titled, and numbered the edition in pencil below the image.

    This piece is inspired by my pet society finches. These birds live in close quarters and rely on cooperation and cohabitation. Inspired partly by a Janus head, the composition places two contrasting personalities on one body.
