Japanese American artist Ruth Asawa is best known for her woven wire sculpture, but drawings and prints played an important role throughout her career. She created this print using stencil duplication, a technique that forces ink through a stencil onto paper when passed through a hand press. Asawa first learned the technique as a young girl in an internment camp and its ability to reverse and layer images continued to interest her for decades.
