About the work

Kiki Smith has created a group of 30 unique prints exclusively for Whitechapel Gallery on the occasion of its 125th Anniversary.

Since the early 1990s, the natural world, and the animal kingdom in particular, has appeared in Kiki Smith’s work. Smith made her first sculpture incorporating a bird in 1992, and since then, birds have remained a powerful symbol.

Smith’s series of prints, entitled ‘Vesper’ feature this bird motif. The artist has hand produced prints in her studio since 2003. Designated as open editions, each work is unique and the series are typically limited to fewer than 100 impressions, with variations occurring over time. These prints share a basic rubber stamp matrix that is printed in watercolour, with each work retouched with white watercolour as one would retouch traditional photographs. That retouching determines where each star is and how many there are, which varies greatly. The stars are painted over the retouched areas with watercolour pens, the background is drawn using colour pencil. 

A photograph has been taken of each impression, which the artist will compile into a pixelated film. Each work is an individual print, but also a single frame of a film.

About the artist

Kiki Smith (b. 1954, Nuremberg) is an American artist, currently living and working in New York and is recognised for her multidisciplinary work that explores the natural world, the metaphysical, and the human body. Since the 1980s, Smith’s work has spanned a variety of mediums such as printmaking, photography, sculpture, glassmaking, drawing, and textiles. Her practice presents psychologically charged works touching on themes of the body, regeneration, mortality, and gender politics, alongside the link between spirituality and the natural world. Smith additionally takes inspiration from the visual culture of the past, such as 18th century scientific renderings of anatomy, as well as folklore, ancient mythology, and religious iconography.

Sturdy
The ball bearings make them roll smooth. I've put plenty of pressure through them and no bending or breaking. The middle sized unit is probably the most useful. The small one has it's uses but can act like a pizza cutter and easily go through sound deadening mats. The large one has a little too much surface area to get a good crush on the mats.

Works great, good price
Makes installing sound deadening panels a breeze. A little elbow grease required but makes for perfect contact with the sheet metal and butyl.

Well Made Tools!
I have been installing Kilmat in my early 74 Datsun 260Z restoration and these tools are very nice for the price. I like them because they actually have ball bearings and move smoothly over the matting. The size selection is very handy as well and even has some nice finished wooden handles.
