This was kind of astonishing and rather wonderful: someone working in Asheville to try and help with cleanup post-Helene and salvage any art they find at Riverview Station wrote to me that she found my tiger print and dried it in the sun! It had been at Asheville Print Studio + Gallery which was completely flooded. The damage at this green print studio and gallery and community hub was really devastating and it’s amazing to me that a print on paper could survive.

It’s such a kindness that people are working to salvage art and return it to artists. I hope they are able to recover works from local artists like Denise, who runs APS + G who lost their life’s work as well as out of town artists like me who just lost a few prints they had in any local galleries. It’s really heartwarming to see people are volunteering to help artists like this!
