Description
One of my June memories are the swifts with their characteristic vibrating sounds circling in the sky above our block where I grew up. Here in Jeżyce, Poznań, we also have them! They fly much higher here and I can’t see their nests from our balcony but I’m always happy to recognise they are back to announce the summer and the freedom of holiday.
‘Swifts’ artwork is part of the ‘Life, from the balcony’ collection, which you can also read about on the blog.
This is an original, hand-made collage on beautiful light-cream Lefranc Bourgeois Paris paper with a weight of 150. I painted the paper used for cutting with oil ink, which I also use for linocuts. Tle blue background is linocut/stencil. I made 9 copies in total. Each of them is in a sense unique – the copies are slightly different from each other because they are hand-painted, cut and glued.
