Dance, Dance, Dance. #3

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 in black ink with frenzied, scratchy lines depicts a figure on our left with light skin bowing their head. Tangled lines form hair flowing left, while a massive, overlapping cloud of cross-hatched loops surrounds the figure, extending rightward in a rounded form. These dense, streaking marks vary in thickness, producing heavy shadows and wispy textures against the light gray surface.
