Finch II
1986

A black and white woodcut print depicting a complex, textured scene with a large bird, possibly a raven, perched on a patterned floor with a three-dimensional cube design. The background features a dense thicket of lines suggesting a chaotic bush or nest, with a small rectangular picture hanging on the wall within this thicket. The upper part of the image shows a decorative border along the top edge, adding to the intricate details of the artwork.
