"Cities and Memory 4" by Jeremy Ferris
November 12, 2024.
A limited edition of 50 silkscreen prints designed by Jeremy Ferris. Four ink colors printed on 140 lb kraft cover paper. Each print measures 11” x 17”. Printed by the fine folks at The Headlight.
The drawing is built off of the book Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. The pattern woven into the chair seats follows the structure and sequence of chapters. In the chapter “Cities & Memory 4,” Calvino describes a city as “an armature, a honeycomb” which lays out the place for each being to be remembered.
Jeremy’s 2020 print release Three Facts About the Land is still available.
