The Owl Pen Book with Woodcuts by Lucille Oille, Relief Print

CA$275.00

Lucille Oille was a talented sculptor and artist who only started printmaking to illustrated “The Owl Pen” book, which was written by her husband Kenneth Wells. Even though it was a joint venture, I have made this cover just about Oille, to focus in on, and highlight, her amazing artistic talent. The central image here is based on her owl carved for the spine of the book “By Moonstone Creek”.

This image is 8×10 inches and comes framed, please inquire for an unframed copy.

Handprinted with black archival oil based ink on 44g white Kozuke paper.

As seen in The Owl Pen Revisited print show at Orillia Museum of Art and History.

About Relief Printing: This print was created by carving the image into a block of linoleum, which is a flat material made of flax, pine rosin, wood flour, cork dust and calcium carbonate that is held together with a jute backing. Linocut is also known as lino printing and linoleum art, and is a printmaking technique that is a variation on woodcut, where the piece of linoleum is used to carve into rather than wood. The image is carved into the surface using a gouge (similar to a chisel), with the un-carved areas creating a reversal of the image to be printed. The linoleum is inked with a brayer, and printed onto the paper, either by hand or using a press.

About Kozuke Paper: Kozuke Paper is 30% kozo and 70% sulphite fibres. Kozo is fibre from the inner bark of a mulberry tree, and sulphite fibres are composed of cellulose from wood. 

Shipping: Within Canada, shipping is included. All prints are shipped by expedited shipping with tracking.

Please inquire for orders outside of Canada.
