Market Day (LIMITED EDITION)
Market Day was commissioned for Sean T. Collins' Mirror Mirror anthology as an exploration of the abject in horror:
ACCORDING TO JULIA KRISTEVA in the Powers of Horror, the abject refers to the human reaction (horror, vomit) to a threatened breakdown in meaning caused by the loss of the distinction between subject and object or between self and other. The primary example for what causes such a reaction is the corpse (which traumatically reminds us of our own materiality); however, other items can elicit the same reaction: the open wound, shit, sewage, even the skin that forms on the surface of warm milk.
Our unconscious mind speaks to us without words; creation is an opportunity for dialogue if one is willing to listen. Making this piece allowed me to give form to a darkness that had been consuming me for years. Only once I was able to look at it clearly on the page could I take control of my life again. This is the transformative power of art!
This limited edition poster of MARKET DAY is printed in high definition on Epson Velvet Fine Art paper.
From the manufacturer:
Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper is an acid-free, cotton rag paper perfect for archival fine art reproduction. This specialty paper dries instantly, has enhanced 1440 dpi printing for high quality output and has a bright white surface for excellent color reproduction.
I've been using this paper for special projects for years; customers always tell me when they pick up a velvet fine art print that they can't tell if they're holding one of my original watercolors! Now I'm excited to announce this limited edition of 200 of my most popular print---once they're gone, they're gone!
In addition, the first 26 orders will receive a free, hand-pulled 2 color screen printed cotton totebag---this will never be available in my shop elsewhere and no more will be printed once they're gone, so act fast!
Market Day will ship in a protective sleeve rolled gently in a sturdy mailing tube.
