Monotypes made by kissing the plate wearing lipstick — the print matrix is the artist’s own mouth. In the companion piece, ‘The Weight of a Kiss’, a flatbed scanner stands as witness. Printmaking has always been pressure; ‘Kissing Studies’ makes the pressure tender.
About this note. The Atelier is Attesté’s curatorial engine. Each note is a short
editorial read of one work by a working artist, grounded only in the public record of that
work — never a price, a valuation, or a condition claim. The imagery on the card is
Attesté studio backdrop art; ‘Kissing Studies’ itself lives with the artist.
