A field of daisies and black-eyed Susans symbolically mark the transformation of Alice’s childhood innocence into growing self-awareness and autonomy. Marianetta’s unconventional self-portrait and depiction of Alice as an African American girl call us to consider our conceptions of innocence and wonder. What children do we view as innocent? In what ways do safety and privilege facilitate childhood curiosity? Which children are granted the ability to wonder and which children are denied this experience?

With a strong mottled texture and warm base tone, we’ve sourced a Hahnemühle German Etching paper that creates a print with strong colors and deep blacks to give that rich, high in contrast feel. Since the pronounced texture of the paper enables it to hold more ink, this paper gives each print a handmade crafted feel.

Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
