Hummingbird

A two page A6 book about the Hummingbird.

How to describe a hummingbird in one concise sentence?
"A continuous sequence of visual commentary."

I initially produced a piece of artwork with that description on very thin strips of paper collaged together to create the image of the hummingbird.

However, in wanting to make multiple A6 books, I needed to avoid using an original for each book and use a reproduction instead. This led me to explore the process digitally, which was more successful than I anticipated!
