If you ever feel burdened by the anguish of freedom, this is just the print for you. Sometimes the benign indifference of the universe can feel less like freedom, and more like condemnation. I created this print, “Existentialism is a Humanism,” to chart a path forward from this dilemma.

May this print provide you with the daily luxury of contemplation and encourage you to stay attuned to the choices that make up your life. How are you using your daily allotment of freedom? How can you use it to free someone else?

Measuring 8″ x 10″ matted, this one-of-a-kind print was pressed using a hand-carved block of linoleum. It was printed using a special technique called chine-collé. After carefully cutting out my desired shapes from tissue paper, I roll ink onto my block of linoleum. I then brush a small amount of rice paste on the backside of each shape and place them atop my block in the desired location paste-side up. Once each of the pieces of  mulberry paper are atop my block, I carefully place a new sheet of paper to hand-press the print. This print, in particular, was pressed onto an eco-friendly paper handmade in Nepal from the fiber of the Lokta Bush using Black light-fast vegetable-oil based ink.
