BiblioBird is a frequent library visitor. He can sometimes be spotted with a book under his wing. He often requests very old books from librarians, and they are suspicious of his motives. Can he really read Latin? Or is he just hoping to find bookworms in the pages?! Either way, the librarians are okay with this -- they like it when their books get checked out, and they're not terribly fond of book worms.

lonely, lonely, that was you

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:24:43 -0400

$150.00
"lonely, lonely, that was you."
Woodcut & Linoleum-cut on Arches Cover Paper
16 x 12 inches (image)
22 x 15 inches (paper)
Edition of 16.
Caroline Garcia, 2007.

One tree's lot in life: solitude. It notices in the distance a pair of trees who look like they're cuddling. Which is better: to be permanently alone, or to forever have the same neighbor?

This 7-layer image is from a hand-carved woodblock and linoleum-block, it is NOT a digital reproduction. It was printed on a Vandercook SP-20 and an etching press by me. Each color was printed separately using the reductive method, which means the block has been defaced in the process and can never be re-printed. The paper used, Arches Cover, is a warm, white archival paper.

"lonely, lonely, that was you." is a limited edition of 16 prints. Each print in the edition is signed, titled and numbered.

Your print will be shipped flat in unbendable, tidy, and secure packaging. Orders will be shipped by USPS, with insurance and an email will be sent to you notifying you when the print has been shipped.

Please note: The cardboard frame is from my thesis exhibition and is not included.
