David Krut Print Workshop has been collaborating with Wilma Cruise to produce three new prints: Harrismith, Chanticleer and I can(t) see. These three works were created to coincide with her current solo exhibition Cocks, Asses, & : I Can’t Hear, and were based on three sculptures created by Cruise.
