"Red State. Blue State." on the print circuit. After my Midway ended its run a year ago, interdisciplinary artist Clovis Blackwell asked if I would be willing to have his Los Angeles-based company, Fleur de Boom! Editions, create hand-pulled prints of an image from Bunko’s archives. That’s a great idea, I thought, and first wondered if that would be a fitting way to offset some costs for my Thesis Exhibition in Spring 2018. Then something else came up: Winchester Cultural Center needed a sponsor of the 2017 “Life in Death” Juried Exhibition. The proceeds from print sales made it possible for PaintThisDesert and BunkoArchives to say yes on being a sponsor of art made for Clark County's Day of the Dead festival. Over the summer Clovis and I planned for a new set of prints that will, this time, support production costs for my thesis show. The signed and numbered prints are the BUNKO mark, and “Red State Blue State,” a piece that was written years ago and has now become a short linguistic decoder of this current political climate. Mostly it is about making cool stuff with Clovis, an excellent printer and collaborator.
Clovis Blackwell operates Fleur de Boom Editions, a collaborative curated press that translates selected artist’s ideas and imagery into original limited-edition fine art prints.
