Alice Tippit’s Flute, 2024, is an Intaglio and monoprint in an edition of 12 and printed from a copper plate. While the artist works most often in the form of painting, mixed media on paper, and sculpture, Flute carries into print Tippit’s deeply observant and quietly literary sensibility. In 2016, critic Johanna Fateman described Tippit’s compositions as “unsolvable riddles” with a “cool, formal harmony.”

Tippit offers cues of information, and in works on paper the unworked material itself can have formal significance. Here it serves as both candle and wick, containing the darkness illuminated by the flame; yet the undulating form (in gray ink) surrounding the flame can also be read as a figure, deepening the potential readings for the image. The corporal shape, as with the flame motif, is recurrent in Tippit’s work– to which we might reference her earlier painting, Part; or Shriek, a work on paper. Each with its own narrative potential, they embody a radical strangeness that runs current-like through Tippit’s practice.

The candle is symbolic of an individual life, particularly as a reminder of its brevity; its illumination aligned with the pursuit of knowledge. The perceptual trick of the figure-ground relationship in Flute complicates those familiar associations. The image contains the darkness illuminated by the flame but also gives it form, allowing for reflection on the limits of our awareness as well as that which ignites our imagination: a small fire helps us to carry on even as we know that our time is all too brief. Accordingly, for each print in this edition, the flame’s yellow and orange ink is hand applied and unique, giving form to a fire’s flickering quality.

The typical platemark, one of the most defining elements of Intaglio prints, is absent, which aligns Flute to the compositional elegance of Tippit’s paintings. And so we can also think of the uninterrupted shape in Flute as a shield, a form of protection that is itself protected. As Tippit has said, “I like an image that unfurls again and again and again.

Cute, comfortable waterproof boots (a little snug to put on)
Size: 7, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
These are really cute Chelsea-style boots and feel very comfortable once they’re on. The waterproof material is great for wet weather and the sole feels sturdy with good traction. They look stylish enough to wear casually but still feel practical for rainy days. The only downside is they can be a little difficult to put on at first because the opening is somewhat snug, but once they’re on they fit well and feel supportive. Overall they’re a great waterproof boot and I’ve enjoyed wearing them.

Surprisingly great for my wide feet and high instep!
Size: 10.5, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
So thrilled I took a chance on these. Finding boots is impossible for me. I have wide feet, a super high instep, a bunion on one foot, and I wear a hard to find size (10.5). I ordered the 10.5 and 11 in these expecting I might need to size up for width (if I could even get them on). It was a struggle getting the 10.5s on the first time, and once I did they were somewhat uncomfortable on the top of my left foot. But I read that they would relax so decided to give it a go because I need waterproof boots for an upcoming trip and the 11s felt too long. After two days of light wear, they are already breaking in and I have no more discomfort. Getting them on is already easier and they are plenty wide enough and very comfortable to walk in. These are true to size. Super happy and worth a day of mild discomfort to break them in!

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days. Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.
