SKYLINE
Original Limited Edition Relief Print by Gary Sim issued January 2020
This is adapted from a photograph that I took a few years ago from Lighthouse
Park in West Vancouver, looking southeast across English Bay to the West End
and Downtown areas of Vancouver. Using a telephoto lens made the distant
volcano Mount Baker, in Washington State, USA, seem much closer than it actually is.
The edition consists of 30 prints on Japanese Kozuke White Heavy paper, 65 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-. A torn strip of Japanese Unryru paper was laid across
the inked block over the lower edge prior to placing the print paper on the block.
The kozo fibers give a nice effect to the waters of English Bay.
