LIMITED EDITIONS
————————————————————————————
—————————————————————————
Independence is an unrealistic construct that relies on bravado and many forms of denial. We are all dependent in some way- it is simply a matter of who or what one would like to become dependent on.
MATERIAL is dependent on writing and artworks and the people who love writing and artworks. To this end, MATERIAL is self-funded by offering limited editions of visual work that engage the textual. The artists involved have all generously donated work to MATERIAL to fund its continued operations.
