Carnival Tickets Illustration

$400.00

(unframed print, 19 in. wide x 13 in. high)

$100 from each sale will be donated to WYSO 91.3, the Yellow Springs NPR affiliate, in support of the important community and reporting work the station produces every day.

Art description: Printed on inexpensive, brightly dyed pulp, these tickets were designed for immediacy rather than permanence. Their serratededges and perforations invite the ritual of tearing, an audible and tactile confirmation of entry. Each ticket functioned as a small contract, exchanged for moments of spectacle, risk, or reward. Distributed in strips or rolls, they circulated rapidly through hands, pockets, and booths, dissolving into experience as quickly as they were acquired. Their disposability was central to their meaning, marking time spent in a space where value was measured in sensation rather than duration.

Print runs for this exhibit are limited to 5 each, hand-signed, numbered, and stamp-authenticated by the artist. Works are printed on 13”x19” or 19”x13” 100% cotton rag with deckled and torn edges, using a 6-color, high resolution inkjet process. Print is mailed in a protective mailing tube, and comes with an identification tag as presented during the exhibit. Shipping and sales tax included in print price. Image shown at left is from original digital file, not from actual print.
