Why It Matters
At 30 x 58 inches this is among the largest and most imposing Peterson self-released prints, combining monumental scale with the smaller edition of 75. The title shifts focus from external conflict to internal contagion, suggesting how ideology and hatred spread. Its size makes it a commanding centerpiece.
Collector Perspective
Monumental format plus an edition of only 75 makes this one of the scarcer, higher-impact works in the group. Its size requires serious wall space and archival framing, narrowing the audience but rewarding it with presence. Flatness and the integrity of the long deckled edges are the primary condition concerns.
Historical Context
Peterson's wide-format prints echo the processional friezes of antiquity while addressing distinctly modern anxieties. Poison In The Mind reflects his interest in how violence originates in belief before it manifests in the body, a psychological angle woven through his late-2010s self-released work.
