Years after being turned into a spider by a resentful Minerva, Arachne continues her craft. “Now she was very small, but what remained of her turned into belly, from which she now continually spins a thread, and as a spider, carries on the art of weaving as she used to do.” -Ovid

Published as part of Printed Matter’s artistamp series, rival (in weaving) of Minerva Artistamps is a pinhole perforated, risograph printed sheet of 15 stamps by Astrid Terrazas. Includes a risograph print of the design.

Printed Matter remains dedicated to sustaining our participation in the uprising against systemic racism and police brutality, and social and economic injustice. We will be donating 30% of net proceeds from all Artistamp sales to The Prisoner Correspondence Project, a collectively-run initiative based out of Montreal, Quebec that coordinates a direct-correspondence program for LGBTQI+ inmates in Canada and the US.
