Working on giant collagraph prints all damn day and I am exhausted.

Claire Tabouret worked in our printshop with the assistance of one of our printers to create several monotypes for her solo exhibit, Battlegrounds, on view now at Bugada & Cargnel in Paris. The exhibit has received several positive reviews so far, and worth a visit online or in person. She also has a few monotypes up here in LA at Human Condition, a group show in an abandoned hospital, up until November 30th.
