Fleeting is a double-sided chine-collé etching of dual images of a perched and a flying chickadee. The past few months I have found great joy in observing the birds that feed from the bird feeder outside my house. The chickadee is a small bird that moves quite quickly and never stays in the same spot for too long. Due to their small size and speed, chickadees are somewhat of a rare sight. Chickadees represent this same notion of fleeting happiness and time. I have captured this diminutive bird in both a perched and flying position as to further emphasize this meaning. This print is constructed to resemble window blinds as I observe the birds through the window as to not disturb them. The print is then meant to be folded up, and placed neatly back into the box.
