WAES-HAEL

2020, 5.5” x 4.25”, 3 pages, edition of 12

two-color screenprint on handmade cotton rag paper, saddle stitched with linen thread

“Waes hael” is an Old English toast meaning “good health”, derived from the Old Norse “ves heill”, and modernized as “wassail”. This little book is an ode to the apple tree in my yard, and a regeneration of the delightful tradition of orchard wassailing, a ritual of thanking the apple trees for their gifts and toasting to their continued abundance.
