Two Figures (an etched linocut) is related to Bird Device in as much as they were both born out of meanderings in woodland that I frequent. I either work from memory or from tiny drawings that I make on site. A good quote I found by Kiki Smith from 1998 sums up my belief in the power of Printmaking: "Prints mimic what we are as humans: we are all the same and yet everyone is different. I also think there's a spiritual power in repetition, a devotional quality, like saying rosaries."
