This 15×15’’ lithograph is printed in a limited edition of 20.
Created using only analogue techniques, this print is part of a series called “Drawn Through Restraint,” first exhibited at Tiger Strikes Asteroid in 2024.
Eric Von Haynes operates under the imprint Flatlands Press and co-founded Love Fridge Chicago, a mutual aid initiative supporting community fridges. In addition, Eric serves as a Visiting Senior Instructor of Graphic Design at the UIC School of Design. Currently, he holds the position of President at the Chicago Printers Guild. Eric’s interest in print media intersects with the ephemerality of community organizing, where moments of collaboration are solidified in print, and conversations are captured by those actively participating. He is often reminded of a phrase introduced by artist Chris Burden, "TIME KILLS," when he contemplates mark-making as capturing time of fleeting moments within the human experience. He presents these experiences through printed materials for accessibility and widespread distribution. Rather than waiting for history to be written about these moments we live and collaborate with, Eric actively captures, solidifies, and archives his community through publishing and organizing. He finds great satisfaction in community organizing, providing prompts and tools to the public, and allowing participants to create collaboratively while cultivating social scenarios within his city of Chicago.
