"Affectionate Albatross" is part of an ABC series of limited edition prints celebrating queer critters in the animal queendom. Printed in five colors, the illustrations are reduction linocuts with handset wood and metal type. Letterpress printed with oil-based inks on 100% cotton Reich Savoy, each print measures 13 x 19 inches. This signed and numbered edition of 21 prints includes a description: On O'ahu one third of Laysan albatross pairs are female. These seabirds have stable long-term bonds that foster cooperation and adaptation. Each female in the pair may reproduce annually by soliciting another bird's male partner as a sperm donor. Queer Tails is a collaboration with illustrator Audra Laymon, researcher sweet pea, and printer Jessica Spring produced at Springtide Press with support from the Tacoma Artists Initiative Project.
