Jenny Freestone works with drypoint, lithography, etching, direct gravure, and photogravure. Her works are usually from photographs, then choosing which medium will best fit the message. Natural forms are her main focus, usually relating it to architecture, allowing her pieces to portray the connection between man and nature.
I chose this piece to emphasize the use line. The bird's nest is formed through the lines she creates. There is a great range of value throughout this work of art, emphasizing the dark's and light's. It is incredible how a simple thing in nature becomes an intricate composition for an artist.
