Wiggly World Silkscreen Poster
This poster is inspired by one of Alan Watts' most iconic reflections on the nature of the world. In his teachings, Watts often pointed out that everything in nature is inherently “wiggly”—from clouds and rivers to trees and even the human body. In his memorable words: “Clouds are wiggly. Waters are wiggly. Plants are wiggly. But people are always trying to straighten things out.” Watts critiqued the modern human tendency to impose order, straight lines, and rigid structures onto the world, contrasting that with the natural flow of life. This idea of “wiggliness” was central to his philosophy of embracing the chaotic, fluid, and unpredictable nature of existence. The poster’s playful, wavy typography echoes this theme, reminding us to let go of rigid expectations and accept life’s natural ebb and flow. This piece serves as a visual meditation on Watts’ wisdom, perfect for those who seek to align with the organic rhythms of the world, rather than forcing it into artificial order.
The "Wiggly Affair" poster is screen-printed using a 2-color process by the skilled team at New Duds, a screen printing shop in Vermont. Printed on Cougar White 100#C Paper, this sturdy, bright white stock really makes the colors pop. The full-bleed design allows the artwork to extend all the way to the edges for a sleek and modern finish. At 11 x 17 inches (28 x 43 cm), it’s a playful addition to any space.
