| I first became aware of Bread Clips when one of my students, showed me some of his work in making photograms about 1967. He showed me a photogram where he had used a sheet of “Bread Tags” which were all connected. This image stuck with me through a lot of years. The Bread Clip was first used in 1950s –That makes it about 57 years old! That impresses me-such a simple invention that has lasted so long and is still used!

| Edition of 20 Reflections - Bread Clips # 1
Printmaking has been a long time favorite of mine. I enjoy mono prints, linocuts , woodcuts, etching, hand lithography and serigraphy (silkscreen) techniques.
About three years ago, one of my students who was knowledgeable about programming designed a software program for me. This enabled me to translate my design process into a work flow. This allowed me to further explore and research my printmaking passions so as to involve my drawings, paintings, photographs and prints in a whole new way. We call it “Snowflake’.
The “Reflections” are taken using my software to produce about 16 variations for each image I “reflect” – from a drawing, photograph, painting, collage or a print.

Bread Clips # 2 can be printed as a small, medium or very large print in editions by means of “giclee” printing. This print, from the painting of the same name, allows me to research new and innovative ways to work with my images.
The bread clip was developed in the early 1950s because there was a growing need to close plastic bags on the packaging line very efficiently. It is still in use today.

Reflections - Bread Clips # 3
The bread clip was invented by Floyd Paxton and manufactured by the Kwik Lok Corporation based in Yakima, Washington with manufacturing plants in Yakima and New Haven, Indiana.
Manufactures using more and more automation in the manufacture and packaging of food needed methods to allow them to raise production volumes and reduce costs.
At the same time a hurried (or lazy) population of consumers wanted a fast and easy way to open and effectively seal food bags (originally bread hence the name.) The simple bread clip allowed for that. In addition re-closability became a selling point as smaller families and higher costs slowed consumption, leading to a potential for higher rates of spoilage.

Reflections – Sand Tag # 1
Sand Tag brings to my mind strong memories of my youth.
Apparently, my drawing mazes in the sand while at the beach affected my drawing more than I realized.
I find that creating many variations from one work allows me to learn about endless possibilities.
I see my painting as a part of my printmaking as I fully explore strong images.
I enjoy producing a series of works on a theme.
My dream is to see my paintings and my prints increase in size
to occupy large and small spaces.

Four Friends
2007 |
','Image'))
|
| Edition of 20
Four Friends, emerges from a series of prints based on photographs of the aluminum press plates which are still used by newspapers and printers. These plates are used to print the pages of newspapers and magazines and the like. Frequently, after they are used they are sold to the public for use as water-proofing the tops of pilings used in installing piles for wharves and docks. I am intrigued by the fact that they are often hammered or stapled onto the piling with the previously used ink-side down. I am fascinated to know what story or stories and photographs lie hidden on the hidden side? Often as I process this series, I am thrilled to see subliminal (hidden) imagery emerge. What do you see?

| Education and biography | |
| B.Ed.Secondary - University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC CANADA Studied with Gordon Smith, Bob Steele and Sam Black M.S. (Art Education) 1969 Program, Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York Studied Painting and Printmaking with Walter Rogalski and George McNeill Influenced by the evolving tessellations of M.C. Escher, Pecknold creates mystifying and mesmerizing symmetries both painterly and puzzling. His most recent work deals in digital realms. Using software he designed, Pecknold applies the principles of reflection and replication to drawings, paintings and photographs. Selected Biography: Born in Victoria, British Columbia, Pecknold took an early interest in art; whether it be fashioning his own whistles out of maple or relishing his first taste of First Nations artists’ bold designs on a field trip to a local museum. It wasn’t until his undergraduate years at the University of British Columbia in the early sixties that he discovered his own artistic language. He enrolled with aims of becoming an architect, but found himself in art history and printmaking classes, which lead him to a change of major. After graduating with a degree in art education, he went on to show at the Mary Frazee Gallery and Avelles Gallery in Vancouver; and the Mauntauk Club and Eg Gallery in New York, where he also attended the Pratt Institute. In 1966, he became a full-time art educator and since then has acquired over 35 years of teaching experience. He currently resides on Vancouver Island with his wife. |
