Kiki Smith has been known since the 1980s for her multidisciplinary practice relating to the human condition and the natural world. She uses a broad variety of materials to continuously expand and evolve a body of work that includes sculpture, printmaking, photography, drawing, and textiles. For this talk she will focus on her work as a printmaker. Following the talk, which takes place in Taylor Hall 203, we will move to the Art Center's Focus Gallery exhibition Metal, Acid, Line: Etchings from the Loeb to discuss her stunning print Bird with Stars (2005), printed by Harlan and Weaver.
