Brooklyn native Ana Inciardi (@inciardi) has spread her joyful food linocuts across galleries, the pages of the New York Times Style Guide and Print Magazine, and a host of mini print vending machines across the United States. But you don’t have to travel far to find one: her newest vending machine just popped up in our Tasting Room!
Four quarters gets you one mini print featuring a limited edition design, created just for our pop-up together. You could bring home a teeny Pilsner can, a sweet meeting between hops and barley, or – if you’re extra lucky – a golden ticket good for a beer on us at the bar.
Ana found her love of carving linocuts while studying Art and Art History at Kenyon College. She began with images of objects and buildings but was increasingly inspired by food. Her Italian American roots revolved around food, and every family outing or activity featured a culinary center. Her food-based linocuts connect Ana to her family and the experience of bonding with others over a good meal. She also finds new inspiration from her fiancée, Addison, who shares Ana’s obsession with food and creativity – and brings home plenty of inspiration from their organic vegetable farm.
There are a limited number of prints to go around, and once they’re gone the machine will disappear until Ana’s next wave of prints appears somewhere else. Gather your friends, raid your laundry money, and come visit soon.
