SHUCKING SHED (Lund, B.C.)
Original Limited Edition Block Print issued August 2004
Image size 6" high by 8" wide (150 mm by 200 mm)
(Low resolution image illustrated)
This old shed and its waterwheel are on their last legs. Built on the shoreline
of Lund harbour, the waterwheel has rotted apart in a couple of places and is only
barely standing up on its own. A modern boardwalk has been constructed along the
shoreline of the harbour, from which this view is taken. The boardwalk also passes
by the far side of the shed, but has been omitted from this print so that the
shed looks as it would have while in use for shucking and cleaning oysters and
other shellfish. Sometime after I visited, the building was rebuilt as a community
project. Although the wheel was restarted for a more realistic "experience" it was
decided to bolt it in place for safety reasons. The edition consists of 30 prints
on BFK Rives (France) 180gsm paper, hand printed
by the artist with Speedball water soluble block printing ink, using an antique
hand press. All prints are editioned, titled, signed and dated by the artist, plus
the print is monogrammed in the plate lower right. Hand-tinted versions of this print are available.
