With a Warm Embrace (Come What May)

With a Warm Embrace (Come What May) is a screenprint by Lawrence Weiner that combines silver and black text-based imagery with the raw, abrasive texture of Norton Adalox sandpaper on the full sheet. True to Weiner's conceptual practice, language itself functions as the primary medium, with the printed words taking on both visual and tactile dimensions through the gritty, industrial surface of the sandpaper support. The juxtaposition of tender, poetic phrasing against the roughness of the material creates a compelling tension between vulnerability and resistance.
