A striking and thought-provoking screenprint by contemporary British artist Adam Bridgland, created in 2011 as part of the acclaimed Ghosts of Gone Birds portfolio. Combining bold graphic imagery with a poignant textual element, the work reflects on themes of extinction, regret and environmental responsibility.

The composition centres on a delicately rendered bird set against a vivid red circular ground, accompanied by the evocative phrase "I've Been Sorry For A While." The contrast between the bird's naturalistic depiction and the simplified graphic symbols surrounding it creates a powerful visual tension, while the stark red and white palette lends the work an immediacy reminiscent of signage, warning symbols and public notices. The understated text transforms the image into a quietly moving statement on loss and remembrance.

Created for the Ghosts of Gone Birds project, which brought together leading contemporary artists to commemorate extinct bird species and raise awareness of biodiversity loss, Bridgland's contribution is notable for its conceptual clarity and emotional resonance. The work invites viewers to consider humanity's role in the disappearance of species and the lingering sense of responsibility that follows.

Printed and published by Jealous, London, this artist's proof is presented in a contemporary black frame and remains in excellent condition.
