Footnotes
Bermuda Petrel is from a series of 10 unique screenprints hand-painted in oil paint with crayon, inspired by the artist's Exotic Bird series of metal reliefs of the same period. Integral to the work is the Tycore panel which is printed and painted on, especially fabricated to resemble the etched honeycomb aluminum panels from the artist's Exotic Bird Series paintings. The print is named for the second rarest seabird in the world and national bird of Bermuda.
