Flatbed is excited to announce the publication of Annalise Gratovich’s newest woodcut in her series “Villagers Carrying Things from Home.” This woodcut was created in the unique method of adding color by printing hand-dyed chine collé elements into the life-sized woodcut, and is the seventh Villager woodcut in her planned series of eight.

In 2023, Sullivan developed two images at Flatbed to become polymer gravure etchings. First was the image of “Box” 1, a hand-drawn skeletal probing of the space of a simple box. He had drawn this image with a certain hand-carved reed dipped a sepia-toned ink. The second was Popular Mechanics 8 + 3, a diptych intaglio image based on Sullivan's landscape drawings which are on sheets from a Popular Mechanics magazine printed with the raised-dot patterns of Braille. The images though starkly different from each other, share Sullivan’s search for the unseen.
