Print2001.3

Limited edition silk screen print The Old Fisherman by William Bellis. Central image of a heron combines naturalist profile with form line designs in blue and black. According to the artist's description I named this print The Old Fisherman because in the legends and stories of Haida mythology, the blue heron often has the ability to transform himself into a human being in the form of an old, wise fisherman. Sometimes when you are being pursued and in danger he will hide you under his wing until the danger has passed and then impart you with special knowledge to help you on your journey. And also because, like the Haida people he makes his existence at the edges of the land sea and air. Signed by the artist with 58/225 (numbered edition). Condition: excellent.

Bilaterally symetrical design features a frontal image of a creature with human hands and profile bear-like designs at the sides. Possibly a transforming bear although the accompanying description (see note) describes the faces on the end panel as of mousewoman. Crest designs on historic bent boxes were typically ambigious. According to the artist This is a traditional Haida design. It is one of the best I've ever seen. I wanted to do a print of it so that it isn't locked away.
