FUSION Tessellation -- in Albuquerque

We hand printed the during the figure drawing session at FUSION in Albuquerque on July 10, 2024:

The second, and most successful print

The tessellation tiles were carved by artists who were actually at that drawing session (with one exception):

• Karl Whitaker
• Daniel Allen
• Mark Woody (was at the previous drawing session)
• Barbara Endicott
• Martin Terry
• Ellie Weadock
• Henry Morales
• Jeanette Cook

The FIRST Print

The first tile layout

We took the print out to the main drawing room, so that the artists could see their tile printed by hand:

The first print came out a little fuzzy,

as two tiles moved

• The same artists were represented in this first print, except Henry Morales.  Instead we printed a tile by Ken Romig (who was only there the previous week)

The NEXT Print

When we get more tessellation tiles, we will make more prints.  Dawn Tello made some sketches for her tile:
