Woodblock Prints
Lane's Cove in Lanesville, a neighborhood of Gloucester, is home to a number of "fish shacks" that have great character. I've always enjoyed the large fish shack at the edge of the cove, and it's recent renovation is a sort of metaphor for it's "life" and preservation.
Besides Gloucester being a place rich with history and inspiring scenery, a friend of mine with a family connection to Lane's Cove gifted me a drafting table once owned and used by a Gloucester printmaker; Louise Kenyon. Louise, whom they called Weezie, was a member of the Folly Cove designers, a group of artists who practiced linoleum block printing; primarily monochromatic designs printed on cloth. Weezie's designs feature birds eye, flat folk-art views of Cape Ann maritime scenery and themes. Since Folly Cove is in the Lanesville, and from what I understand Weezie is from Lane's Cove specifically, I thought a view of Lane's Cove would make a nice homage Weezie, her art, and her family.
