'The Universal'
Varied Edition : 1/9
Paper size: 110x38
Reduction linocut with thread
2023
This piece consists of two reduction linocut pieces connected and attached to one-another with embroidery thread in blue and yellow. This piece can either be displayed with the embroidery thread straight or at an angle.
An alternative version with the two pieces attached with a geometric insert is also available - please contact me if you would prefer this version.
Mariëtte’s recent series of reduction linocut prints, ‘Mad World’, is an accumulating body of work where she imagines the repercussions of the climate crisis and frames it with poignant and nostalgic lyrics from her youth. Eerily strange post-apocalyptic scenes filled with drama and unease are depicted and comment on humanity’s insufficient action. Her bold and graphic imagery attempt to grab the viewer’s attention and enlist their anxieties to emphasize the need of the hour if we are to avoid the reality of a dystopian world of our own making. Albeit forthright about the gravity of the situation, her work also speaks of the beauty and resilience of the planet.
