LITTLE Tessellation prints and COLLABORATIONS -- Remarque OPEN HOUSE

We also made individual tessellation prints, and collaborated with other printmaking techniques:

Jessica Krichels printed Ellie Weadock's tessellation tile on the antique LETTERPRESS:

It was practically Gutenberg:

We used the Akua intaglio inks,

and had a whole treasure chest of colors to choose from

Yellow Ochre, Red Oxide, Ultramarine Blue --

2024 SUMMARY

BUCKET EXHIBITIONS was very busy with COLLABORATIVE Print projects in 2024.  It started when BIG INK came to Albuquerque in April -- continued with the COLLABORATION of 5 print out of Henry Morales' studio -- and culminated in the EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Print project since May:

EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Prints -- 2024 SUMMARY

EXQUISITE TESSELLATION

a collaborative print on Mexican Amate paper

REMARQUE EXHIBITION 2024 -- Labeling CREDITS

We exhibited the EXQUISITE TESSELLATION prints

in Albuquerque in December

Prints have to be SHOWN!

Exhibiting is the goal of BUCKET EXHIBITIONS, so our fundamental CONCEPT is to show SMALLER prints, because that is cheap and easy. However if the momentum builds enough to make and show BIGGER prints, that is even better.  And that is what happened in 2024.

BIGGER PRINTS

We made and exhibited larger prints in 2024:

BIG INK 

The year started in Henry Morales' studio, by carving a collaborative woodcut for when BIG INK came to Albuquerque to print it in May:

COLALBORATION of 5

The BIG INK collaboration sparked the enthusiasm to collaborate on a print again in Henry Morales' studio, developing into the COLLABORATION of 5 print:
