Small Bird Feather – Gyotaku Print

Small Bird Feather – Gyotaku Print by Jane Evans
Blue & Gold Ink | Gyotaku Print | Wet Mounted (Urauchi) | Unframed | Measures 21 x 28 cm

This delicate Gyotaku print by Anglesey artist Jane Evans features the fine, intricate form of a small bird’s feather. Using the traditional Japanese printing method of Gyotaku, Evans captures the subtle textures and structure of the feather in serene blue and radiant gold ink, creating a piece that is both minimal and full of quiet presence.

After making the initial print, Evans employed the Urauchi wet mounting technique—a traditional Japanese method used to strengthen and flatten the paper. This process not only ensures archival quality but also enhances the clarity and presentation of the work.

Unframed and printed on fine Japanese washi paper, this piece is a celebration of the natural world and its overlooked details, interpreted with sensitivity and precision.

Perfect for nature lovers, collectors of Japanese-inspired printmaking, or anyone seeking a unique, handcrafted artwork with a gentle story.
