Untitled is a 2017 ink by Alison Saar, depicting Domestic Worker, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a tall, dark figure standing on a pile of old seed sacks. The figure’s body is made of rough, carved lines, and the sacks underneath look worn and patched. Saar printed this directly onto real vintage seed sacks, giving the work a raw, textured feel. The sacks carry history—once used to hold crops, now part of the art. The figure’s stance feels strong but quiet, like it’s holding up more than just its own weight. If you like this, look up the technique woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood before printing them.
