Hoary Redpoll by Sharon Beals

Contemporary
United States

Pigment ink on archival etching paper. Framed with no borders (print to edge) and UV Plex glazing.

These tiny seedeaters survive -80°F Arctic temperatures by doubling their weight in down in winter, and living off of plants not buried under the snow. Using a pouch in their esophagus, they can store seeds to be regurgitated and eaten under shelter. They also build well-insulated nests lined with willow cotton, caribou hair, vole fur, feathers, fine grass, and in this case, even sheep’s wool.
