Residency at La Ceiba Gráfica
In February and March, I was a resident at La Ceiba Gráfica in Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico. In addition to printing monotypes on paper and cloth in their printmaking shop, I ended up experimenting with papermaking, installation, and several editions of pizzas in their pizza oven. Making edible art out of local ingredients with the incredibly creative folks in the La Ceiba community was fantastic.
To all of you who participated in last year’s fundraiser to support these projects, I can’t thank you enough! To all of you at La Ceiba, see you again soon!

- In Hindu mythology, Varaha the boar was best known for his outstanding work rescuing the earth from the bottom of a cosmic ocean, restoring it to its rightful place, and establishing a new era or cycle. The script is Hindi for ‘kal’ meaning ‘tomorrow or yesterday’, depending on the context. With this print, I’d like to make a New Year’s toast: To the 21st Century Progress of Great Developing Nations. May you carve a restorative path for us in this new era…
