We found ourselves being dreamt

Sleeping smoke

I’m so happy that Amy Sol will be releasing 2 sets of smaller, more affordable prints! We found ourselves being dreamt and Sleeping smoke will be printed on 10 in x 12 in heavy bamboo fine-art paper with 12 color archival pigment, signed, numbered, and embossed. Each print is priced at $50 each and will be sold at Amy Sol’s online shop during the first week of February.

Thanks, Jas, for the tip!
