The artist embosses the main shapes to help give more depth to the bird and the background. He also uses shapes with the ink to help define the image of the bird, using black, grey and red(the tail) shapes on the lino cut.
I like this piece because out of all the images of embossing + lino prints, I thought it represented the idea the best. You can clearly see the embossing in the background, with a closer look you can see it in the bird, and the lino print helps to give the image more life. Its a pretty neat use of both types of printing. It helps to inspire me to do similar prints. Maybe not with a bird but with the lino print and then the embossing in the back ground.
