Swoon - "Thalassa Variants" Papermonster 1/23, by AFR1KA on Jan 22, 2013 18:52:44 GMT 1, blog.papermonster.net/posts/view/221/release-swoon-thalassa-edition-variants
* To be released on Wednesday, January 23rd at 12noon EST *
Thalassa is a new release of edition variant artworks by Swoon. The stunning original image has been shown as a site specific sculptural piece at the New Orleans Museum of Art in 2011. These EV* edition variants, featuring imagery of mother nature, more specifically mother of the sea, are created using a variety of handmade, found, repurposed, and salvaged materials. They are delicate works and and are extremely intricate, featuring screened and block printed elements, fine paper cut-outs, collage and paper layering, in addition to lots of hand painted finishing. Swoon has created another amazing series which clearly demonstrates her ability to transform a print edition into unique works of art. We are extremely honored to be a part of this release. *Swoon editions her work with the addition of โEVโ denoting โEdition Variantโ. This is used to signify that each piece within the edition, while being the same imagery and format, is not identical as with a typical edition. The edition varies from piece to piece with elements such as hand painting, collage, and material, thus each work is completely unique, while existing within the edition. A piece signed 2/10 EV signifies that while the work is unique, only 10 of itโs kind will ever be created.

I love the ones pasted onto the old wooden drawers.
I don't think they want prices made public just yet... but they seem OK to me!

I do use it as a drinks cabinet... Matt Small would approve.

Swoon - "Thalassa Variants" Papermonster 1/23, by adewilliams on Jan 23, 2013 10:13:31 GMT 1, without Swoon this scene would be pretty pointless. Do you really find her projects dreary? Building community projects (incredible architecture), musical houses, floating pieces of art down rivers in the form of rafts, and lets not forget she was disrupting ads a long, long time ago.
Swoon will be around for many years to come unlike the extensive list I could list here but wont.
These pieces look amazing but i expect will be priced above $2,000
