The Texas Prairie. Where does it exist? Did the city take it, pave it, and replant it? The very words conjure images of air, space, and unfenced vastness. Erika Huddleston has been drawn to preserved prairies and what she can find there to draw and paint.

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. Only seven impressions were printed in the edition.

Cardinal, David Everett’s newest woodcut, is a familiar bird to us in Central Texas and its range is broad across the United States. Its color catches our eye, and its loud call arrests our attention. To some indigenous tribes the cardinal, which mates for life, is considered a “matchmaker.”

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.
