Dance, Dance, Dance. #9

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 print features frenetic black strands of ink coating a central mass on a white page. Within the frenzy of strands is the silhouette of a head bowed forward, hair flinging toward our left. These wispy lines extend out of the dense center and into the white space. The composition is contained within the rectangular plate indentation, which is centered on a larger white paper surface.
