This print shows a mix of animals and symbols in black, white, and gray. On the left, a butterfly and three birds float in a dark box. Below, two lions stand in a field of wavy lines. At the bottom, fish lie tangled in a net. A large eagle with the word "LOVE" on its chest sits in the center. The edges have a border of small repeating shapes. The word "LOVE" on the eagle’s chest stands out as a quiet contrast to the sharp, angular lines around it. This piece was made using a printmaking method that creates textured, layered images. Look up etching to see how artists like Betye Saar make prints like this.
