Recent article about Alan’s work by Tom Smart, CEO, Director of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery
Title page with hand coloured frontispiece
The authors whose words comprise this volume were chosen because of the abiding influence Georgian Bay has exerted on their lives and writings. Their deep connections to Georgian Bay are expressed as prose poems, fictional narratives, autobiographical episodes, imagistic sketches and as descriptive, perhaps invented passages from historical records. Alan Stein’s prints, interpreting words as image, trace a personal iconography testifying to his own deep connection to the land and water and to the histories of the place.
The words and images you’ll encounter here point to the concord between today and deep history between legend and the fluidity of memory, between the unfathomable lengths of geological time and how quickly we can fall under the spell of the spirit of the bay.
From the introduction by Tom Smart
