COLLABORATION TESSELLATIONS at the Whiskey Creek Zocalo -- Southwest Print Fiesta 2025

COLLABORATION
TESSELLATIONS

We made 6 EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Prints from previously carved small linocuts on Saturday, October 11th, 2025.  This was during the after party of the Southwest Print Fiesta at the Whisky Creek Zocalo:

We mixed up and printed EXQUISITE TESSELLATION linocuts from three collections -- TUCSON, EL PASO, and ALBUQUERQUE -- the same cities that contributed to the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta, which we did ten years earlier, 2015.  As Silver City, New Mexico is in the middle, it is the perfect place to bring the artists of these three Southwestern cities together:

We made 6 collaborative prints
from linocuts in three collections -- Tucson, El Paso, Albuquerque,
at the Whiskey Creek Zocalo after-party


FIRST PRINT

The first print was made from the Tessellation Workshop from the previous day at Future Forge Makerspace, when participants gouged designs into Expanded PVC Foam tessellation pieces:
