Limited-Edition Box Set of 42 Reproductions of Ecclesiastical Collages

By Julie Speed

A Purgatory of Nuns—meant to be read as a collective noun—is an assortment of original mixed media collages created by one of the most important working artists in the American Southwest, Julie Speed. What began as a simple act of fun and revenge soon morphed into an extensive post-life rehab. The result is a beautiful series of nuns (and a few priests) who’ve been reassigned protections instead of beatings by Julie’s knife and brush.

Box: 12.75 x 7.5 x 5 inches
Cards: 6.6 x 9 inches, each

Frontside: Inkjet-printed on Hahnemuhle 100% cotton paper

Backside: Riso printed white ink on French Black Speckletone

Edition of 10
