Narrator: The enormous etching, Peacock, was printed on 10 attached sheets of Nepalese paper. There are other versions, in different colored inks and backgrounds. While this bird is centered on the blank page, or pages, it feels rooted on that bottom flap, as if it’s standing firmly on the ground, rather than suspended in the air. This peacock seems full of life, and full of attitude, while retaining its dignity and beauty.
Curator, Wendy Weitman: I think when you look closely at the feathers of this bird you get completely lost in the abstraction of it.
