Simon Evans, "Insecurity card", 2022.

Screen print and collaged pen on paper.

2 3/8" x 3 5/8"

Description:

Insecurity Card remakes the familiar US Social Security card as a talisman of precarity. 'I am still just a thing in someone else's story' can be read beneath the card's insecurity number. Evidence of a life is here mapped and tracked inside a nation state that renders some, if not most, vulnerable and without agency.

Jacquelyn Strycker, "Mended with Gold", 2023.

Collage of risographs on handmade and mulberry papers with sewing and acryla gouache.

29" x 18.5"
