Cal Ling Paperworks
Sax Graphics
(An artistic collaboration)

Cal Ling Paperworks is a handmade papermaking studio where recyclables, mostly fine natural fiber rags such as cotton, linen, and silk are reprocessed to create a new form, paper. The rags are gathered, shredded, soaked in water, pulped, formed into sheets, pressed, dried, and repressed to produce the very paper this work is printed on. These poster papers are made from a very fine Japanese cotton, some of the best on the market, and should endure a few lifetimes. The various pieces of cloth and string in the blender on the poster are applied right after the wet sheet has been formed, so that the fibers bond together. Each poster is really one of a kind because of the individual placement of the pieces. Collaborative efforts are some of the best and a welcome challenge to all those involved, this poster is evidence of that. Jeff Sax has an incredibly quick eye to discern the essence of papermaking and has almost imposed the process upon the process! His graphic simplicity and fluidity account for the impact of the image and its fresh idealism. There are very few left...

Sax Gallery Anniversary Party Poster
One color print / hand touched
23"x35"
Printed on Natural Karma
250 Limited Edition
25 Artists Proof

This print commemorates one of the most outrageous parties ever thrown on Cannery Row. It was invite only, and was a rare blend of the who's who mixed with the homeless, and several varieties of underground characters. It is still referred to by some as the "best party they've ever been to." The party print was sold on the night of the party. The remaining prints are of historical value as this was the only public party ever thrown by Sax Gallery.
