fun fact:
Ulrike Müller worked with master printer Marina Ancona, a frequent collaborator on monotypes, to make this work.

digital description:
This print suggests Austrian-born artist Ulrike Müller’s longstanding interest in evoking the human body through abstraction. The Austrian-born artist began her career as part of the influential art collective LTTR, which used ephemeral media such as performance and zines to explore Queer issues. In layers of patterned forms, <em>Far from Home</em> suggests overlapping limbs, as well as a broader narrative about the knowing and concealing that are part of the LGBTQ experience.

wall description:
This print illustrates Ulrike Müller’s interest in abstraction as a way to evoke the human body. The artist began her career as part of an influential art collective, LTTR, which took up ephemeral printed media, such as zines, to explore queer issues. In patterned layers, <em>Far from Home</em> presents intertwined forms resembling limbs, printed in a variety of textures and tones. This vague but familiar imagery recalls the knowing and concealing that are often part of the LGBTQ+ experience.
