Alex Mitchell Limited Edition Giclee on Paper : " Spanish "Item #: 217080Title: Spanish Edition Size: 220 Medium: Prints - Giclee on Paper Image Size: 25" x 25" Physical Dim: 32" x 32" About the Art: Alex Mitchell created a series of works (titled Argentina Heebie-Jeebies) a month before she left with her mother on a trip to meet members of her extended family and learn about her childhood. In these vibrant, playful works, she captures her anxieties about the trip with a twist of humor—everything from will everything fit into her carry-on bag to how will she be received by her Argentine family. Spanish was inspired by Alex's preparations before her trip and her to-do list," which included learning Spanish, as indicated by the wording on the top, and the extent of what she learned before her departure, as indicated in the wording on the bottom of the work. Notice also the image of a tape cassette in the middle, which the artist recalls she barely used but whose presence made her feel guilty. |
