Description

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.
