Gauntlet Gallery — Complete Cleon Peterson Print Index
Forest 2
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Forest 2 is the companion to Forest 1, a 2010 BLDG Editions screen print in an edition of 60, two-color hand-pulled on 290 GSM 100% cotton archival paper using neon ink. Signed, numbered, and embossed, it completes the pair with the same fluorescent palette and elongated format that set the Forest series apart.

Why It Matters
As the second half of the Forest pairing, this print carries the same experimental neon treatment that distinguishes the series within Peterson's catalog. The BLDG Editions production standards, hand-printing and embossing, plus the intended dialogue with Forest 1 give the work both craft credibility and narrative completeness.
Collector Perspective
Forest 2 is best held together with Forest 1 to preserve the pair. With a small run and neon ink, it is scarce and atypical. Because the source lists no edition figure alongside its dimensions, confirm the numbering and edition size directly on the sheet, and verify the emboss and matching neon registration.
Historical Context
Issued by BLDG Editions in 2010, Forest 2 reflects the studio's small-batch, archival approach to fine-art screen printing. Together with Forest 1, it shows Peterson experimenting with color and serial format during the years his printmaking practice was gaining wider recognition.
