LIONS IN SUMMER
Original Limited Edition Relief Print by Gary Sim issued October 2019
This print was created from a digital photograph that I took of the Lions, on
Vancouver's North Shore, during a long hike up Capilano Canyon (and back) in
early July, 2019. I hadn't been up to the Cleveland Dam for a long time, it
was a lovely sunny morning. When I was growing up in Vancouver, there was always
snow or ice on the Lions, even in summer, but not now. The clouds shown are
imaginary, but I like the way my printing process "puffs" them up out of the
plane of the paper, making them three-dimensional.
The edition consists of 30 prints on Arches Text Wove paper, 120 gsm,
hand printed by the artist with Caligo Safe Wash Furnace Carbon Black
relief printing ink, using an antique nipping press. All prints are
editioned, titled, signed and dated by the artist in pencil, and monogrammed
in the image: S-.
