Artist Edition
Samara Golden x FWM
Storm at Split Rock (limited edition blanket)
1
Description
As part of her residency, Samara Golden researched patterns found in historical swatch books in noted textile collections. The original intent was to contrast historic patterning with a screenprinted pattern using thermochromic ink onto high tech outdoor fabric to be featured in her current exhibition. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the blanket could no longer be placed in her exhibition but was instead developed as a limited edition of 18 blankets.
Throughout the blanket's pattern is a ribbon that has been printed with thermochromic inks which will change color—from red to safety orange—with touch. The edge of the blanket features turquoise piping; on other side of the blanket is a vibrant orange color. Check out this video for a look behind the scenes as the FWM Studio team prepared and printed the design.
Digital print silk, taffeta nylon, eco down, thermochromic pigment, silkscreen ink

Storm at Split Rock comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, carrying pouch that displays the edition number, and a limited-edition Upstairs at Steve's exhibition catalogue screenprinted with Samara’s signature in thermochromic (heat activated, color changing) ink. Our FWM Studio staff is happy to help determine the best hanging mechanism for your blanket and customize it to suit your needs, for an additional fee. Please contact the museum shop for details.
About The Exhibition
Samara Golden: Upstairs at Steve's
September 10, 2020–February 21, 2021
Upstairs at Steve’s depicts a complete upending of an outdoor tableau, set in a seaside landscape. The exhibition reveals a mysterious confluence of biography, history, psychology, and nature. Familiar household objects are strewn across the dunes, as if deposited from a natural disaster, with an accompanying soundscape adding another atmospheric layer.
