The Tempest
Work Summary & Collector Notes
A 30 x 24 inch one-color screen print from 2021, printed on Legion Sirio Ultrablack 370gsm and published through Cranbrook Academy of Art. Deckled, signed, and numbered in an edition of just 30, it stands apart from Peterson's self-released prints in both its institutional publisher and its notably small edition.

Why It Matters
This print is an outlier in the group: published by Cranbrook Academy of Art rather than self-released, printed on distinctive Sirio Ultrablack stock, and issued in a tiny edition of 30. Those factors, combined with the turbulent "Tempest" theme, make it one of the scarcest and most institutionally notable works in this selection.
Collector Perspective
The edition of 30 makes this substantially rarer than Peterson's 100-to-125 self-released runs, giving it strong appeal for collectors who prioritize scarcity. Its Cranbrook Academy of Art publication adds an institutional provenance uncommon in his catalogue. At 30 x 24 inches on deep-black Sirio Ultrablack, it is a distinctive, hard-to-find work.
Historical Context
The tempest, an image of storm and upheaval, aligns naturally with Peterson's recurring themes of chaos and conflict. Its production at Cranbrook Academy of Art, a renowned art and design institution, ties the print to an academic printmaking context that differs from his usual self-published model and marks a distinctive collaboration.
