Swimming Ugly by Char Jeré @jeredotcom 🌊 is a 12 x 16 inch, 2 color screenprinted edition of 12 on Warm White Stonehenge. Now available on Du-GoodPress.com An open, yet rhetorical question about the need for money and the value of life. A dollar taped in place is nearly connected, by electrical current, to the continuous Atlantic Ocean current, which regulates and sustains life on Earth. These two function in opposition, canceling out each network in their eventual meeting. As the rising tides overtake a stagnant system, the word “stretch” lists loose needs and concepts overall. Screenprinted in black enamel ink with pen blue detail, Swimming Ugly is a single screen collage of exposed objects for sound engineering, along with tape, oilstick, and grease pencil. Straight-cut Warm White Stonehenge paper rebutes the depth of inorganic substance this industrial specific ink is commonly used for. This is Char’s third edition published by Du-Good Press. Working across sound, installation, and sculpture, Jeré’s practice is rooted in a philosophy they have coined “Afro-fractalism”—where time is conceived as nonlinear and multidimensional, a conduit that connects the past, present, and future through intergenerational communication with ancestors. Their work investigates the fractures and connections of Black diasporic history, along with the possibilities for reclaiming and reshaping narratives around race and technology. Jeré’s collages, which synthesize a range of materials, incorporate incantations for time collapse and the summoning of spaceships as well as references to ancient cultural histories.

Lazos by Amanda Martinez @amanda_martinez is an 8 x 8 inch single color screenprinted edition of 15 on 350gsm Emerald Colorplan with a deckled edge. 💫Now available at Du-GoodPress.com As a sculptural artist, Amanda invents her own language of geometric abstraction, fashioning stencils or “profiles” of undulating shapes as distinct units of measurement with infinite possible configurations. This screenprint takes her practice down to two dimensions. Here, Amanda provides a sketch for a basket pattern along with a rubbing from a completed basket linking the origins of a shape to the resulting vessel. The title, “Lazos” translates to “loops” or “ties” from Spanish. When printed in alignment with the 4 corners of a square, this drawing proves structural integrity where every repeated gesture is united with hypnotic balance. The zero value of gloss white ink describes the form more fully by reflecting light against a natural green. Martínez’s work draws upon her intergenerational family history of working in adobe (earthen construction) as well as the visual languages of southwestern vernacular architecture and craft movements.

Et congregati sunt ubi iacuimus (And they gathered where we lay) By Insil Jang @insiljang 24 x 18 inch 5 color screenprinted edition of 14 on 320gsm Coventry Rag with spot varnish The silent inheritance of legacy that we carry. Insil and her mother lying in a field together speaks to the discovery of belonging— in misaligned fragments, in beauty, in a kind of grief that coexists with joy. That the women who endured displacement to ensure the next generation’s existence remain present and loved. Now available on Du-GoodPress.com

Its When the Seasons Change that all Things Really Become Themselves and Try on New Clothes and Possibly Present the Versions Never Seen Before or Again by Paul Wackers @hibbledygibldy An 11 color 27 x 23 inch screenprinted edition of 16 on 320gsm Coventry Rag. I continue to be a big fan of Paul’s and went to many of his shows over the years. His work is known to incorporate a mix of colors and painting styles to portray familiar home scenes and still lifes. He sometimes paints potted plants as grounds for abstraction referencing art history within a literal or implied grid system. Having seen the expanse of Paul’s curiosity branch into ceramics then print, I chose now as the time to invite this collaboration. I left scale and color count open after our initial meeting when I gave him a full roll of acetate, tape, and little instruction besides paint it black. In different phases, Paul turned the raw material into something organic and beautiful—a decorative vase and wildly colorful plant with a bursting floral arrangement. He started this while fighting a bad case of the flu between blizzards not long ago. A painting ecosystem was created by letting loose then cutting and repositioning shapes to a more broad, human scale. All inks were mixed using recycled and filtered colors from my library then tweaked after an initial proof and conversation. While there is a surprise and excitement found when control is shared, I was overjoyed to see new elements sprout and mature throughout this production 🌷 Now Available at Du-Good Press.com

🌟In Rhythm by Angela Pilgrim @aplgrm is a 16 x 12 inch 14 color screenprinted edition of 20 on 320gsm Coventry Rag with a deckled edge. ✨Now available on Du-GoodPress.com✨ The underlying pattern in this print mimics the subject matter. Layers of bookcloth weave between rubilith colorblocks and warm stochastic halftone. Together these elements blend repetition with technical precision resulting in a harmonious texture of contrasting processes. “In Rhythm” engages the hand clapping game as a site of cultural transmission, collective memory, and embodied knowledge within the African diaspora. The work centers the hands overlapping, mid-motion, caught in the gesture of play as vessels of a tradition that predates written record. Tracing back to West African ludic practices such as Ampe, the hand game has always lived in the body passed hand to hand, generation to generation, across geographies and time. From the making to the end result, “In Rhythm” positions Black girlhood not at the margins of cultural history but at its generative center as the place where rhythm was kept, where community was rehearsed, and where the diaspora continues to recognize itself. Thank you, Angela for coming over to play, print, and make everlasting impressions! Photos by Alverson Layne @alversonlayne

I’ve become obsessed with perfecting unique screenprints on various materials for artists 🤓🌈 this one and many others for the great @zpulley now on view @smackmellon 1-6pm DUMBO open studios

Take a deep dive into the work of Zoë Pulley @zpulley today for DUMBO open studios 1-6pm at 92 Plymouth st. Brooklyn, NY. @smackmellon ✨ Her maximalist practice offers many perspectives. It was a pleasure to swap studio visits and make wildly attractive print dreams come true!🌈 Elegance by Zoë Pulley @zpulley is a 22 x 22 inch, 7 color screenprinted edition of 35 on 300gsm Bubblegum Lessebo It is composed of artifacts sourced from family photo albums. Zoë’s grandmother, Sandra Olivia Moon Hightower aka GranSan was a librarian and fashion designer whose preserved collection offers inspiration and guidance. The word, “Elegance” is written in hand-calligraphy by Sandra demonstrating resourcefulness and skill as a multitalented artist. This print acts as an archive using graphic methods to document and celebrate joy and Hightower’s extraordinary legacy. The world “Elegance” is written in fluorescent orange with a glossy black drop shadow. Behind it, imagery is redacted and screenprinted onto white washed pink paper revealing an undiluted bold border. Photo processed amplitude modulated halftone divides color channels into lines of undulating primary dots up close while reading as photocollage from afar. Now available at Du-GoodPress.com
