Kiki Smith — Constellations
Kiki Smith

Constellations

Kiki Smith's *Constellations* is a large-scale lithograph printed in colors with applied black flocking on six sheets of handmade Nepalese Himalayan paper, seamlessly joined together to form a unified composition. The tactile interplay between the velvety flocked surfaces and the delicate, fibrous texture of the handmade paper creates a richly layered visual and sensory experience. True to Smith's signature exploration of the natural world and the human relationship to the cosmos, the work evokes a dreamlike celestial landscape where organic forms and stellar imagery converge.
