December 20th, 2023

Boulder light, great art light, can be dramatic. Our first pic falls into that category. The dramatic is in contrast to the subtle, which frequently greats ouf visions of clouds and sun.

Boulder artists Heather Schulte, Carolyn Kerchof, and Jessica Moon Bernstein-Schiano initiated independent projects during the Covid-19 pandemic as attempts to process what was going on both locally and nationally. Their projects Stitching the Situation, Boulder Covid Stories, and Covid Cuts attempt to capture the pandemic’s complexity not only as a once-in-a-lifetime public health crisis, but also as a period of social reckoning about communal health, climate change, and what it means to coexist on this planet.

It is Inexhaustible

May 14th, 2019

As winter fades away and the natural world begins to wake, Ravi Zupa has ushered in spring with the release of the fourth print in his Tattoo Gratitude series. “Every year around this time, there seems to be a lot of chaos and upheaval,” Zupa says. “Perhaps this is partly because of the change of seasons as we recover from the darkness of winter and begin our return trip toward longer days.
