Elizabeth Catlett Documentary Limited Edition Fundraising Print
Elizabeth Catlett Documentary Limited Edition Fundraising Print
$2,000.00
In honor of the extraordinary life and legacy of Elizabeth Catlett, I will be creating a limited-edition print to help raise funds for the feature-length documentary Elizabeth Speaks—a film that will carry her voice across generations. This historic edition will be pulled in Catlett’s personal studio in Cuernavaca, Mexico, using her own press, as an offering from one of “Elizabeth’s Daughters.” To work in the very space where she carved dignity, resistance, and love into wood and stone is both an honor and a responsibility. This print is more than an image. This print is a gesture of gratitude, and a tangible way to support the telling of her amazing and inspiring story.

Title of work:
La Zarzamora de Ebon: Monumento a la Niña Soberana
(The Blackberry of Ebon: Monument to the Sovereign Girl)
I choose this title because it carries the weight of stone and the softness of fruit. It can stand in Cuernavaca—where carved forms speak of dignity and resistance and it can live in Ebon, where children are crowned by the land itself. Zarzamora anchors her to Mexico, to lineage, to the wild sweetness that survives. Monumento honors the Catlett tradition where even a young girl stands as history embodied. And Niña Soberana declares what her gaze already knows: she is not becoming powerful. She already is.
This 18 x 24 inch colored mixed-process print features one of the Songkeeper’s children, from my most recent body of work, a young guardian of memory, standing at the threshold between inheritance and becoming. Layered through relief, hand-worked surface, and richly saturated color, the work carries both monumentality and intimacy. She stands small in years, yet her presences stands rooted, Sovereign and unafraid.
This edition is offered at $2,000, and 100% of the proceeds will go directly toward the production of the feature-length documentary Elizabeth Speaks. Your purchase not only supports the creation of a work pulled in reverence of Catlett’s legacy. A legacy that directly fuels the telling of her story for future generations.
