handle with care 1967

Curator: This vibrant serigraph, "handle with care," comes to us from the inventive mind of Corita Kent. Editor: My first thought? This screams process! The layering of the screen printing is so tactile, almost like the image wants to pop off the surface. Curator: Kent, as always, combines the sacred and the everyday. The bold colours, the overlaid text... it’s a visual prayer, I think. Editor: Agreed, but it's also super intentional, right? Each layer of ink requires labor, a specific screen, a series of decisions about opacity and placement. It's a real dance between intention and chance. Curator: It's like she's saying, pay attention to how things are made, physically and emotionally. Editor: And maybe that the act of creating, of making something tangible, is what ultimately handles us with the most care. Curator: It's a print that begs to be seen, to be felt, and considered carefully. Editor: Totally. It's a reminder that even the simplest of materials, handled with intention, can carry immense meaning.
