“I tell stories about my childhood, family, trauma, healing and the appealing mundane. Working in series, I explore subjects like forgetting how to sleep, my relationship with my sisters, the life of an unlucky ladybug, and the translation of language and dreams. The dots and shapes are my words; the stories are in their rhythm.” – Jordan Craig

NIGHT OWL

“‘Night Owl’ a variation of a painting I made many moons ago. The image is an amalgamation of favorite symbols…Bird Children, Transformations, Mythology, the delicate and the Dramatic, Nocturnal things, hybrid Creatures, flowery Ornament and Queer Horror.

It was great to revisit the image and the speed to which the drawing took form was startling. A rare moment when the image simply manifest itself. The three days working in the print shop and the creation of two separate editions was a true joy and education.  I attribute all the magic to the trust and talents of the fabulous team at Black Rock Editions. A truly fantastic atmosphere for the alchemy of making art.” – Timothy Cummings, 2021

Black Rock Editions is pleased to announce two new prints by Northern Cheyenne Artist Jordan Craig. What started as a “Hi-let’s-get-to-know-you-print” has turned into a couple of beautiful etchings. It’s not uncommon for shops to introduce a new medium to an artist through a no-risk first effort. Jordan did two images to familiarize herself with the etching process. The first “Dot Drawing; Blue Gray No.1” echoes motifs from her paintings but with a deeply bitten plate giving the surface
a tactile three-dimensional surface. Combined with a subtle chine colle, the print projects an alluring presence at any distance it is viewed. The second print “Liking Olives Now” is a multi-plate etching with a reference to a childhood fear of olives and crinkled paper. We can’t help with the olives but we can keep the paper smooth and creaseless. So stay tuned for further updates.

More to come..

Kathryn Lynch is a self-described simplist; presenting archetypes of her surroundings- whether it be a solitary tugboat, a bustling cityscape or a posterior view every canine owner is familiar with.
“I am painting the poetry of place rather than the place,” Kathryn said. “It’s a boat anywhere, its a sky for everyone. It’s nowhere and everywhere.”

“Kansas City-based artist, Peregrine Honig, has her first solo museum exhibition at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art. Honig has participated in over 17 group exhibitions and her work is included in the permanent collection of institutions such as the Yale University Art Museum, The Milwaukee Art Museum, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts. At age 22, she became the youngest living artist to have artwork acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art.
The Peregrine Honig exhibition will feature many of the prints Honig has produced in collaboration with Landfall Press over more than 20 years, including Ovubet and Pyre, a poignant reminder of the working conditions and the lives lost in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911. Other works explore the connections between modern selfie culture and historical models of portraiture and the male gaze. More information about Peregrine Honig’s body of work can be found here. Peregrine Honig will be on view at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art in St. Joseph, Missouri from June 20 through September 12, 2021.”
-Jill Carlson, Marketing and Communications Manager, Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art

“I am a CDMX engraver, who came from a town without a future. Being in Mexico City, I got to know art and the need to express myself. I found this in the graphics, in the lithographic stones, and in the different printing systems. The Taller de Grafica Popular and the work of Leopoldo Méndez were seminal for wanting to follow that path until now, 25 years later …”
-Sergio Sánchez Santamaría

Due to the lost year of COVID, we were unable to physically bring him back into the shop for his inaugural collaboration with Black Rock Editions. Instead, after receiving the initial matrices through the mail, all proofed images were sent and approved through the digital ether.

El Nahual de Tlayacapan

The Nahuals are Mexican pre-Hispanic mythical characters: they are witches, they are magicians, they are beastmen. Currently they have been almost forgotten. They could transform into various animals; Guajolotes, Roosters, Dogs, Coyotes, Donkeys, Pigs etc.
I visualize the great Nahual as a humanized dog-coyote that sees you and that you do not see; the one who is there and but at the same time is not … the Nahual is me.
