Bird challenge

TRACES close view





Birds - they wake me in the morning, I see them fly by or sit on a roof or a tree. Or I see their traces. 
I have taken a picture at Lake Erie of bird's footsteps on the beach. That was my starting point for this challenge. 
I took monoprinted fabrics and made a collage. Normally, I love working with strong colors so it was an additional challenge to stay in black and white - more or less! 


TRACES


Unfortunately, the colors don't show well.

  1. J'aime bien cette légèreté exprimée par cette gamme de gris comme les traces qui en sont juste la ponctuation

  3. Heidi,
    I really like this piece. The subtlety of the colors made me take the time to look closer (good thing). Recently I was walking along the Atlantic Ocean in Florida, I always photograph the birds footprints and this reminded me of the peace I felt that day. Very nice.
