GREEN HARBOUR

Original Relief Print issued October 2023

Image size 8" high by 6" wide (200 mm by 150 mm)
(Low resolution image of second-to-last State is illustrated)


This is an image from a photograph that I took on a mini-vacation up the coast to Egmont, on the Sechelt Peninsula. Egmont has a nice little harbour full of a variety of vessels. As well, there were a number of old fishing boats hauled out of the water and put up on blocks in empty lots throughout the village. They looked very scenic, and it seemed like the undergrowth was taking over quite rapidly in some cases. This boat was still being worked on, but it was a race between the re-caulking being done and the blackberries taking over. I tried to make it look like the boat is ploughing its way through the undergrowth.

The edition of 30 impressions is printed on Arches Text Wove paper 120 gsm made in France, from a design cut into artist-grade linoleum made in the Netherlands, using Japanese gouges. All impressions are hand printed by the artist with Caligo Safe Wash Furnace Carbon Black relief printing ink made in Wales, using an antique J. Smart copy press made in Canada.
