#screenprint
After deciding to hold off on completing this edition last year, we are so excited to finally announce the full release of sleeping ships. I created this image in the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. Initially it was titled “six feet apart” but as the image grew so did the idea. It became more about the growth we experience in the quiet moments in life. This print means a lot to the studio team because of what it represents…a time of uncertainty, a period of uneasy reflection but much needed rest even when what we wanted most was to be moving forward. That time was integral to our growth. It allowed for us to plant seeds for the future
while some parts of yourself may feel like they are withering,
new inspiration will grow in the shadows.
this inspiration will plant seeds for future thoughts and future epiphanies.
and when it is your time, you will grow.
you will find new paths and inspire others in the way you have inspired yourself. that is the beauty of being human - we are always growing, even when we’re resting.
Sleeping ships is a 14-color screenprint with accompanying poem and certificate, created in an edition on rainbow foil paper and a small edition on wood panels. Available in the shop tomorrow, July 23rd at 11AM PDT www.jamesreadsmerch.com
