6 colors (plus Destructive Printing method) w/ deckled edges

Sold via lottery 6/3-6/9.

"Silkscreen edition using an experimental technique known as 'The Destructive Printing Process.' This collaboration was born from an idea to 'destroy' the media being printed on in a controlled setting in order to create a textural effect. The process creates layers of texture that provide visual and tactile complexity, and is a conceptual nod to Shepard’s weathered and torn wheat paste posters that have adorned the streets for decades."
"References the language used by the powerful fuel industry lobby to soften political and public resistance to fracking. Fracking is a form of gas extraction which beyond the carbon impact of the gas itself, contaminates groundwater, pollutes the air, and creates strains on water resources because of the high volume of water required for the fracking process. Open-mindedness about any of those detrimental impacts of fracking and other fossil fuel extraction is absurd if one cares about the environment, air and water quality, and global warming. Powerful corporations and their lobbyists spend exorbitant sums to distract from and discredit the science-based conversation about the environment. I’m all for open minds and open eyes when it comes to putting science and the welfare of the planet before corporate profits." -Shepard Fairey
