Song of a Hoopoe
Color Photograph
Created by
Yuko Ishii
A tranquil work that offers a close-up look at the distinctive crown of feathers the hoopoe is known for, this mixed-media piece is an original photograph printed with archival pigment inks on cotton printmaking paper.
Ishii highlights the image with colored pencils to create a painterly effect and affixes the print to a cradled wood panel with PVA. She coats the piece with wax to give the image a translucent quality, and the sides of the board are painted black and finished with clear acrylic—so framing is optional.
Ready to hang. Signed with title, date, medium, size, and edition number on the back of the panel.
