Lucille's Beehives, Relief Print

CA$245.00

This is based on Oille’s image on page 169 of “The Owl Pen”, where they talk of harvesting their honey, and how there was an old wives tale of how you had to tell the bees all the news. Wells and Oille jumped into beekeeping with 50 hives in the yard at The Owl Pen, and then expanded into having over 500 hives in various yards. I was drawn to Oille’s use of line here, and in particular how she didn’t always draw an edge around things- as seen here with the frames of the hives- where the lines just terminate, with no border. When I spoke with Tom Morissey of Lavender Hills Honey, a local honey producer, he told me how he used to read Owl Pen stories to his campers when he was a councillor at Bass Lake Campground.

This image is 4×6 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.
