The series of monoprints titled Pudenda (2014) features geometric forms that recall the aesthetic conventions of mid-twentieth century hard edge abstraction. Pudenda implies a subtly present figurative, human element hidden in these geometric forms. The term “pudenda” is often used in art history. The root meaning of the word refers to “parts to be ashamed of.” It can also imply an intimate object that deserves protection, or a relationship to be protected. Pudenda is a pictorial analogy for a fragile series of relationships that involve the transfer of fragments between different parties. Each print is a unique object created using individually inked plates.
