This edition is a part of a publishing project by Rob Tufnell where artists created new works on the perforated paper commonly used for the distribution of LSD. Typically labeled with elaborate designs, this “blotter” paper provides a medium that at once looks back to the shamanic, drug-induced rituals of prehistory and to the signatory grid of Modernism. Here, painter Tal R–known for using naive forms to express dark, mythic themes–expresses the eerie silence of winter at a deaf institute through black brushstrokes on a cool blue sky.
