imaginary page from a book of birds no.4

By Matthew Cort 2022
Part of a series in which I play with the ostensibly authoritative and objective visual language of scientific natural history illustration; using watercolours and various digital reprographic media to present, as objective reality, bird species that might only exist in some alternative universe or future evolutionary stage. Digital archive print on art paper with torn edges. Edition of 30
