Nancy Outside in July XIX: The Fish in the Wind
1981

A monochromatic artwork featuring a subtle, ghostly impression of a human face overlaid with botanical imagery, including leaves and stems. The background is dark with lighter etchings that give texture and depth to the composition. The piece has a dreamlike, ethereal quality, with the natural elements seeming to emerge from or merge into the visage. There is a signature in the lower left corner and a number in the lower right corner, suggesting it's part of a limited series.
