Please join Transformative Arts in celebrating June Edmonds first major monoprint collection entitled June Haul and made in collaboration with master printer Francesco Siqueiros at Nopal Press and Luis De Jesus Gallery. The title June Haul rifts off Andy Warhol's silkscreen monotypes and highlights Edmonds' prolific activity during her Transformative Arts residency this spring where she first created monoprints from glass transfers to rag paper, then worked with Nopal Press to create a linocut monoprint varied edition on special exhibition beginning Saturday, June 4 through Friday, June 10.

June Haul focuses on two ideas – Edmonds' masterful color making and the iconography of her practice. In the prints made during her residency, she rearticulates her eye/portal symbol in intimate scale. Each monoprint contains this visual language in a unique color that Edmonds created while the linocut was on the Nopal Press. In conversation with Transformative Arts founder jill moniz and Nopal's Siqueiros about emotion, textual and light, Edmonds added color to each run on the press, creating over 100 art works.

Winning the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship gives Edmonds new freedom to explore her large scale acrylic paintings. June's bounty of print works allows her to stay connected to her community with another modality that contains all the elements and philosophy of her studio practice. Both approaches sustain her desire to speak heart to heart through her aesthetic innovation in all the ways she can imagine.

June Haul opens Saturday, June 4 from 12-6.
