Blackwing 93 is a tribute to Corita and her message to slow down and find gratitude in the everyday. Corita Kent was an educator, artist and social justice advocate who believed that art could be a tool for dialogue, reflection and change.
Each pencil features one of the six colourful brushstrokes that make up Corita's iconic rainbow.
Commissioned in 1971, the rainbow adorns a 140-foot-tall natural gas storage tank along Interstate 93 in Dorchester, Massachusetts.
The pencils contain a soft graphite and each set includes two designs of each colour.
5% of the proceeds from this pencil will support ongoing work in art education through the Corita Art Center.
