Adoration

Giclee

Edition 50

Released January 2002

SOLD OUT

During the dark rainy days of winter in the Comox Valley, one can often spot beautiful white birds swimming in the waters of the harbour. Year after year these Trumpeter Swans return to call the Valley their home, making the region a must-see for bird watchers. The generous allocation of protected lands and estuaries has helped to save the Trumpeter Swan from further endangerment. The commitment to the protection of the swans has ensured that these magnificent creatures will be around for generations to come.

Trumpeter Swans mate for life and, as such, are a fitting symbol for those of us who find that special person with whom we want to share ourselves. In “Adoration,” the embrace of the two swans illustrates the level of commitment that they share with one another. The creation of “Adoration” was inspired by the respect and love that I feel for my life-long companion, Nicole. She will always be the other half of my embrace.

For myself, I also share a deep adoration for the beauty and majesty of my peoples’ traditional territory. At its heart stands the Comox Glacier. To members of the Comox First Nation the glacier is known almost exclusively as Queneesh, the white whale. It is because of this “whale” that my people were able to remain in the Comox Valley during the time of the great flood.

“Adoration” is a limited edition print using the giclée method of printmaking. Print production took place during January of 2002 at SkyDancer Studio of Comox B.C. The artist was involved throughout the printing process. A total of 56 prints bear the title “Adoration” and are signed by Andy Everson: 50 in the primary edition bearing the numbers 1/50 through 50/50; 5 Artist’s Proofs; and 1 Printer’s Proof. The acid-free 100% cotton Provence Rag paper measures about 19x17½ inches. Image size measures about 16x14 inches.
