Untitled by Sarah Welch

Second in our series of artist collaborations with the CoLab project space here in Austin Texas, is a split edition we created with Sarah Welch. Originally from Austin but currently working from Chicago, Sarah was familiar with the screenprinting process and regularly creates works with fabric. She also happens to be an insanely talented draftswoman.

For her show at CoLab, Sarah wanted to document the events of a road trip through west Texas during the Summer of 2009. Traveling primarily through Big Bend National Park, Sarah Welch, Sarah Crowe, and Graham Austin created a body of work detailing both the sights and feelings contained in the region. This print is itself a translation of a smaller sketch made on that trip, and was displayed alongside a poem also written by the artist.

Produced in a blue color-way and a pastel color-way, this 20″ x 26″ print contains 4 layers and is signed and numbered by the artist. The portion for sale here goes towards continuing our artist collaboration series at little or no cost to the participating artist.
