"We are collaborating with the people of Cormiers, Haiti to build a modern bamboo house for a local family. This structure is also a communal work of art and architecture β it will involve local teachers, farmers, artists, architects, and school kids in every aspect of its creation.
Last month, Hurricane Matthew brought more destruction to a place that has already suffered so much. As Haiti disappears from the daily headlines, the need for long-term economic recovery only grows. Please join us in providing good jobs and building something beautiful."

that's a shame, I have a variant of this and it might be my favorite of all her work.
I guess the only reason I can think of is that most of her fans are not aware this Kickstarter exists.

I am not sure of the result with a more ordinary paper and white borders. Maybe more closer pictures could help...

I am not 100% sure but if I remember correctly that jute paper (at least for Nee Nee) was hand made by a man who passed away right before the release of Nee Nee, so I dunno if you will see that quality of paper again.

For me this kind of paper is really linked to her work and i have a hard time figuring something else.... this may sound weird but that's just me, and i might buy it later as i realy like the edline portrait

Swoon πΊπΈ Contemporary Art β’ Street Art β’ Art For Sale, by nobokov on Feb 22, 2017 16:41:09 GMT 1, Library Street Collective is happy to announce a new print release by Caledonia Curry (Swoon). Titled Snow Blossoms, the 19-color print is reminiscent of Curry's recent Detroit exhibition, The Light After. This immersive installation led the viewer through the phenomena of life's transition into death and featured hundreds of hand-cut snowflakes as well as intricate mylar portraits, including one of the artist's mother that is especially close to her heart:
βWhen my mother passed away in 2013, I was asleep at the time. I awoke inside a dream to see falling snow. The snow started to open up into blossoms of light as it passed through my body, and it carried with it my mother's voice. I woke up knowing that my mother had passed away, but I felt a little crazy for believing such a thing possible. My sister called shortly after to confirm that my mom had indeed passed. In the years following this intensely strange and profound experience, I discovered through research that it was a rare but extant phenomenon called the βempathetic death experience.ββ
Curry describes Snow Blossoms as the visual manifestation of her experience; βIt's a big topic, but I think that the people who the concept resonates with will appreciate seeing an artist trying to take it on,β said Swoon. βAnd the people who don't know or care to explore these phenomena can hopefully still appreciate the decorative tranquility.β Coinciding with The Light After, Swoon and Detroit artist Baba Wayne completed a collaborative mural in the Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood, with Snow Blossoms as backdrop for their unified portrait work. The community initiative was presented by the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) and Library Street Collective, and is located at 14635 East Jefferson, Detroit.

This is pretty, with a great story...but personally it seems a bit wallpapery, hence a lower price point. That said, I do like it. Is the first image the "hand finished", drops of paint on it?

Swoon πΊπΈ Contemporary Art β’ Street Art β’ Art For Sale, by Villain Dillon on Feb 23, 2017 3:02:42 GMT 1, I really like these! I wish they had printed them with a variety of inks to add a little more texture to the print. I think Swoon's work looks best when it's worn and weathered, so some different effects would be more appealing to me. The price is very fair on these so that's really awesome. And yes, POP!NK prints some great stuff.
I believe the hand finished prints are all sold though, so no one hold your breath for one of those at this point. Trying to alleviate unnecessary anxiety for anyone chomping at the bit for a shot at one.

The image also seemed to lack a real focal point for me...maybe a little visually flat - just a personal opinion
