Moonlight Memory, Harbor Cove 

2021, Reduction woodcut, edition 21, image size 29 x 39.5 in. A ten color reduction woodcut on Kozo-Shi paper, and oil-based lithography inks. This large nocturnal woodcut of Gloucester Harbor has just been completed after two months of work in the studio. Inspired by a drawing created in the early 1970s, when Don Gorvett first arrived in Gloucester, MA.

ABOUT / Don Gorvett is an artist and printmaker known for his large and powerful woodcuts of maritime and architectural subjects. He was born in Boston, MA, in 1949, and attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts through the Ford Junior Fellowship Grant. His life-long intention of living within the realms of harbors and the sea continues to provide the intellectual stimulus in which to approach maritime imagery.
