Banshee Pearls
Kiki Smith's *Banshee Pearls* is a complete 12-part lithograph featuring aluminum-leaf appliqué, printed on 12 full sheets of delicate Torinoko paper. The work weaves together Smith's signature exploration of mythology, the body, and the feminine, invoking the haunting spirit of the banshee as a symbol of transformation and otherworldly presence. The luminous quality of the aluminum-leaf appliqué adds an ethereal, almost sacred dimension to the composition, reflecting light in a way that animates the imagery across the series of sheets.
