STEAMROLLING in the RAIN -- Southwest Print Fiesta 2025

TESSELLATION STEAMROLLER

We made 4 large collaborative large EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Steamroller Prints (on 42 x 42 inch Rives BFK paper) on Sunday October 12th, 2025, during the Southwest Print Fiesta in Silver City, New Mexico. We printed indoors as it had been raining the previous day, during the market and the first day of the steamroller printing:
