About the Item

This is a color reduction woodcut printed on Natsume paper, a handmade Japanese kozo paper, with a deckle on all four sides. The artist made this print using a single woodblock printed multiple times. The grain of the wood is visible, and the image is rendered in lyrical marks and bands of blended colors. The nature of reduction printing results in certain areas having a thicker layer of ink than other areas, resulting in a wonderful tactility to the ink surface. The edition of 10 is sold out and the available impression is signed as an Artist's Proof. The artist's signature, title and print designation are in pencil along the bottom edge on both the front and back of the print. Some bleeding through of the image is evident on the back, which is typical of hand-printed relief prints on thin kozo papers. The print is sold unframed.

  • Right Gatekeeper Ibis
    Located in Bloomington, IL
    "Right Gatekeeper Ibis" is an etching, aquatint and soap ground aquatint printed from two copper plates in red and blue inks. The print was created and printed on Somerset Satin paper at Manneken Press in an edition of 10. There is a border on all sides of the image. The image size is 21" x 18 3/4" and the sheet size is 28 1/2" x 26". The artist's signature, date, title and edition number are in pencil on the lower margin. "Right Gatekeeper Ibis" is a companion to "Left Gatekeeper Ibis". While the prints are available singly, the artist's intent is for the two prints to be hung side by side with the birds facing one another. Rhea Edge uses her art to convey an environmental message and a moral message that breaks through words and facts. Her art speaks a truth that is often obscured by manipulative phrasing and partisan politics. She shows us the vulnerabilities of endangered species and their impending extinction. It’s beautiful. It’s disconcerting. It leaves viewers with uncomfortable moral questions. Rhea Edge is an Illinois-based artist who often uses images of birds in her paintings and prints. Edge, Associate Professor of Art and chair of the fine and performing arts department at Eureka College, has traveled extensively documenting animal extinctions around the world. She has paintings of the Scarlet Ibis in Trinidad, Sandhill Cranes in Nebraska, leatherback turtles...
