"To Listen" 16 x 20
Screenprint (four colorway)

Here's the finished print along with my initial thumbnail sketch. The poem is one I wrote in my senior year at the Minneapolis College of Art + Design. It was part of my senior thesis project where I wrote a book of poetry, created etchings for each poem and printed and bound the book of poetry that was presented in a large installation with soft sculptures I created.

Early adulthood is a time when young people are finding their way in the world. This poem stemmed from conversations with dear friends who needed to unburden themselves from situations/experiences that were stressful or confusing. Those moments made me realize I wanted to keep learning how to deeply listen to others. I haven't always hit the mark but I keep trying. <3

So many of you in my life and on this platform are great listeners. Thank you for walking this path with me.
