It's Mine
Work Summary & Collector Notes
A large 36 x 40 inch hand-pulled screen print from 2021 on 290gsm Coventry Rag with deckled edges. Self-released in a signed and numbered first edition of just 100, its imposing scale and possessive title crystallize Peterson's recurring themes of greed, seizure, and the raw exercise of power.

Why It Matters
With an edition of 100, this is a tighter run than Peterson's typical 125, and its designation as a first edition further distinguishes it. The blunt title "It's Mine" foregrounds ownership and appropriation, while the large 36 x 40 inch format gives one of his most pointed statements on greed a commanding physical presence.
Collector Perspective
The smaller edition of 100 and first-edition status make this comparatively scarcer than his 125-run prints, a meaningful distinction for collectors. The large 36 x 40 inch format is a true statement piece requiring significant wall space. Signed and numbered, it appeals to those focused on Peterson's power-and-possession themes.
Historical Context
Greed and the impulse to seize and dominate are enduring subjects in Peterson's work, which stages power struggles through stark confrontational figures. The 2021 self-released large-format prints on Coventry Rag reflect his practice of scaling these themes up, and the reduced edition here signals a more tightly held release.
