Some prints whisper. This one shouts. We Are Family started as a celebration of connection — the messy, vital energy of people finding their tribe. Four layers of hand-pulled ink capture that feeling when strangers become family, when belonging clicks into place.
The process tells the story. Each layer builds the relationship between colour and form. Dusty mauve dots dance against deep petrol blue. White spaces breathe between bold gloss black outlines. Four separate screens, four separate pulls, each one adding another voice to the chorus.
This isn't decorative art. It's participatory. The gloss catches light differently as you move through the room. The matt areas absorb it. Your relationship with the piece changes with the time of day, the season, your mood. Heritage cotton rag mix paper holds the ink with a weight you can feel.
Three expressions capture different energies of the same idea. The statement dusty mauve version commands attention — 841 x 460mm of unapologetic presence for walls that can handle the conversation. The XL teal shifts the mood, trading pink warmth for cooler confidence. The mini formats distil the energy down to concentrated doses — fluro pink that practically vibrates off the wall, or blue presented ready-framed for immediate impact.
Edition sizes stay deliberately small. Five copies maximum per colourway. When they're gone, they're gone. No reprints, no exceptions. Each piece signed and embossed in Kimpton, where this work has grown from twenty years of learning screenprint rules just to break them properly.
The title isn't ironic. Family isn't just blood. It's the people who show up. The ones who get it. The collectors backing independent artists making work that matters. You're not buying wall decoration — you're joining something.
