Description

Print depicting a hybrid bird, fish and woman in profile. The figure has a woman’s hand and head. The face looks backwards at its own fish or whale-like tail. Underneath this fish tail, there is another, bird-like, tail. Supporting the creature is a large bird foot. The creature’s flesh is covered in a number of different texture designs. There are two small stamps in the lower left edge of the image; one is black and the other is red. The red stamp resembles an upside down ‘u’. The title of the work and the artist’s signature are written along the bottom edge of the image. There is a brief artist biography and distributor’s stamp on the back of the print.
