See More of the Collection

On the edge of a body of water that is scattered with patches of grass and rocks, a black bird with a red bill crouches forward. The bird is characterized by a white stripe running along the edge of its wing and another up its tail. It has green talons that are topped with red bands.
This image is created with black ink on paper. A large mountain of material with a round pock rises to cover much of this sheet. Ruts and grooves wind through the pile, having been eroded throughout. In a valley at the right of the sheet, a power pole is seen in the distance.
