Crow Cage

By Jenny Mellings 2020
This is another work in the ongoing 'Covid Blue' series that are being made under (and for some time after) lockdown and isolation in South Somerset. Alongside prints/paintings on other formats, this is one of a run of roughly A4 sized print/paintings that are cyanotypes, many of which are painted with pigment such as lapis lazuli or watercolour. . They relate to the ongoing situation of Covid 19 and the immediate environment. This is based upon encountering a poor bird in a Larsen Trap on the edge of farmland during a walk in South Somerset.
