Feb to Jun 1981  

The mysterious disappearance of a swimming bird, which just leaves its wake in False Creek, Vancouver, B.C., Canada. It was the artist's first experience of crystal-clear Arctic air, and being able to see the Coast Mountains in Vancouver for the first time after six days of cloud and rain.

There are just two copies remaining here with me in England, Nos. 165/170 and 167/170, but I am saving these last two copies for any old friends who might remember me producing them in Canada.
