Untitled is a new fundraising edition by Carson Foley to benefit both Printed Matter / St Marks and 8-Ball Community on the occasion of the 2022 East Village Zine Fair.
From the artist: “I’ve been inspired a lot over the years by the representation of homosexuality through mythology, specifically Greek and Roman mosaics. Since the invasion in Ukraine this year I have been revisiting a lot of my mom’s family’s embroidery work that was largely created in Western Ukraine before the Soviet Union, as well as Soviet-era communist mosaic work which emphasizes community building and the defense of our homelands. This drawing does not have a title but these themes have an ambient, equal presence.”
Printed by Endless Editions in New York, NY. Also available as a set with Chris Lloyd’s print, To Follow Your Spirit Into The Night for $70
