Risolve Studio is excited to release a new collaborative print set with artist Jason Herr.
Artist Statement
These images explore the idea of dualism as it pertains to the mind existing separately from the physical brain. Looking at this concept specifically through the lens of near death experience where stories often involve the conscious self leaving the corporeal body and then returning. The initial inspiration was after reading a quote from Ernest Hemingway. In 1918 he was mortally wounded by shrapnel from a mortar bomb, after he recovered he stated “I died then. I felt my soul or something coming right out of my body, like you’d pull a silk handkerchief out of a pocket by one corner”.
Print specs:
- 3 prints - 11"x14"
- Riso printed with sunflower, blue, and scarlet ink
- French Speckletone True White 80# Cover
- Limited edition of 100
