"Worm (W. 64)" exemplifies Kiki Smith's multivalent approach to printmaking, combining etching, aquatint, and photogravure with physical interventions like cut-outs and collage to create a layered, visually complex composition. The work's use of various papers, including both Western wove and delicate Japanese sheets, generates textural variation across the monumental print surface while underscoring Smith's engagement with materiality. This piece reflects the artist's broader artistic practice of transforming abject and overlooked subjects into vehicles for exploring themes of embodiment, mortality, and natural cycles.
