Free Burd (Brown) Print

“Nathaniel Russel's (lives and works in Indianapolis, Indiana @nathanielrussell on Instagram) work always feels friendly. This bird is so flat, just smooshed right onto the paper but I’d swear she wants to hug you. Russel makes a lot of prints, often with Oakland’s Nat Swope. Prints work for Russel’s work — both visually and philosophically. Visually, there’s an appreciation for things that feel handmade and imperfect. Philosophically, there’s an appreciation for making art more accessible. More on all that in this interview with Russel in The Creative Independent.”
