Dance, Dance, Dance. #2

Created by the Seoul- and New York-based artist Kakyung Lee, Dance, Dance, Dance is a suite of ten prints made using drypoint, a printmaking process in which a design is drawn on a plate with a sharp, needle-like instrument. Each print is a self-portrait featuring her repetitive gestural movements. Rather than the traditional copperplate, Lee used a single Plexiglas plate known for its fragile and unforgiving nature, turning her fleeting, mundane, or perhaps frustrating moments into a series of intimate spectacles.

A horizontally oriented drypoint print in black ink features frenetic strands of tangled ink coating a central column on an off-white page. A thick band of overlapping strokes crowns a rectangular mass of vertical lines and circular scribbles. Wispy, hair-like strands extend from the top corners into the margins, while faint horizontal scratches mark the background on either side of the dense, textured form.
