Hannah Wilke

Hername

Hannah Wilke's *Hername* is a complex etching composed of 16 individual plates printed on Rives BFK paper with full margins. The work reflects Wilke's ongoing exploration of identity, the female body, and language, weaving together imagery and text in a fragmented yet cohesive composition. The multi-plate format allows for a rich, layered visual experience that emphasizes the intersection of personal and universal feminine narratives.
