Toalla Bonita, Chaco Canyon in White

Revised graphic of Pueblo bonito in white ink

Natural or grey 100% linen tea towel featuring Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon

The high desert connects with its inhabitants in unique ways. The haunting feeling of this landscape comes from its ability to preserve a sense of vast time and memory in the silence and distance of its open spaces and in the water carved sandstone canyons. In the area of the Chaco Canyon a civilization etched into the landscape a memory of their culture, preserved by the climate, and still speaking to us in a language of form that is abstract but also visceral.

This tea towel combines the ancient form of the site with its inherently graphic qualities. Removing the pueblo from its context allows the language of the form to speak to everyone differently. To some the graphic resembles a meteorite. Others recognize Pueblo Bonito and it surfaces their own connections to place. This study is straining to decipher what lies in an echo of another time and place, another world.

Golden Cow

Just got these from James, our master silk screenist. Yes, golden mother****** cows.

Grey or natural 100% linen tea towel with cow skull graphic silk screened in gold ink.

How do you reimagine an icon? Take the cow skull, shorthand for the merciless and barren desert. Deconstruct it and rebuild it as a constellation of individual circles. Print it on a tea towel and put it to use in the kitchen. Reimagine it once more by superimposing your own story. Use it to clean up spilled wine and stain it with memories of unforgettable meals.

Mañana Linen pillowcase

Natural color 100% Linen Pillowcase with Mañana typography in black ink.

Mañana doesn’t mean tomorrow and it doesn’t mean in the morning. It means we aren’t going to worry right now. A word that wards off all of life’s little concerns. Mañana is in the New Mexico way of life and the local sense of humor. The mirrored italicized text alludes to New Mexico’s fast speed highways connecting remote towns and mirages in the desert.
