This is a view of a kayaker surfing the tidal standing wave at
Skookumchuck Rapids, at the north end of Sechelt Peninsula,
British Columbia. Twice a day, on the incoming tide, a huge
standing wave forms on one side of a narrow strait as the incoming
water drops over a submerged rock ledge. A wave up to 13 feet
high can form, depending on the height of the tide, and surfers
come from all over the world to play on it.
The edition consists of 30 prints on Arches Text Wove paper, 130 gsm,
hand printed by the artist with Daniel Smith black block printing ink,
using an antique hand press. Each print in this edition is further
hand tinted in colour with india ink brush pen to complete the image. The
kayak is currently being colored bright yellow.
All prints are editioned, titled, signed and dated by the artist
in pencil, with artist's monogram in the plate lower right.
