1xRUN are excited to welcome back one of their longest running 1xRUN artists Tara McPherson, who joins them to help raise awareness for the Flint Water Crisis, as she brings us Fractal Fountain as part of the 1xRUN Flint Water Crisis Print Suite! A portion of the proceeds from these editions will be donated to Flint Child Health & Development Foundation and the Michigan ACLU! Joining the likes of Robbie Conal, Shepard Fairey, Brandon Boyd, Ron English and Aiko 1xRUN couldn't be happier to offer Tara's latest release part of this series!
"I was just horrified when I heard about the people in Flint. It is completely unacceptable and those at fault need to be held accountable with some serious repercussions. That simply should not be happening in this day and age. Period.You have you choice of one that is 10 x 18 Inches Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper or the over sized 18 x 33 Inches Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper.
It is extremely important for me as an artist to use my platform and artwork to help raise awareness for these issues. I wouldn’t say I’m a political artist, but to be able to use certain themes within my work that have parallels with our lives and be able to inspire a positive response is key.
This painting is definitely an evolution on the water concept I have been putting into some pieces lately, water flowing out of chests, characters submerged in water, etc. I painted this piece as a continued exploration with my fascination with water. Water as a cleanser, water as a source of life, water as a protector. I see her as a water deity and a helpful soul." - Tara McPherson
