Hog Chow (from the Chow Bags series)

1977

Part of the Chow Bags series, this 1977 screenprint combines printed imagery with sewn string elements that add tactile dimension to the work. The incorporation of thread and string reflects Rauschenberg's interest in textile materials and handmade processes. The series title suggests themes of sustenance and consumption rendered through visual and textural means. Color screenprinting provides bold graphic elements that contrast with delicate string attachments. The work bridges the gap between fine art printmaking and fiber craft traditions.
