Large figure of a bear carved of one piece of wood and painted black, resting on all four legs, which are either carved or left as is as broken branches of the tree, the head formed and the facial features and ears are subtly defined.
Airport, Mavis Pusey, soft-ground etching
Oaklimb Baptism, Birney Imes, gelatin silver print
A heavily worked ink drawing of the head and shoulders of a black man, against a white ground. The figure’s skin is rendered with striated (inkless) passages that suggest musculature or keyloidal scarring. The ink is so densely applied in parts that the paper takes on a burnished sheen.
