Block Print
Exhibition Text
Looking Closer is a block print primarily inspired by Lichtenstein’s Crying Girl and aspects of Kollwitz’s The Widow I. With cartoon-like eyeballs and tears hidden under large eyelashes, Closer displays how easy it is to hide large bouts of loneliness from prying eyes and, in turn, easily submit to the negative emotions.

I’m Fine is a block print primarily inspired by Kollwitz’s The Widow I and aspects of Lichtenstein’s Crying Girl. The image of a slightly frowning girl with a mass of hair hiding cracking skin expands on the idea of the easiness of masking loneliness in my first print, Looking Closer, with her empty eyes and the black lines on her skin symbolizing the emotions becoming too much.
