About this work

This painting shows a small, framed postcard glued onto wood. The postcard picture is of an old, arched room with stone walls and a patterned ceiling. In front of the postcard, there’s a row of small, gray kneaded erasers scattered like pebbles. The erasers look like they’re spilling out from the postcard’s edge, almost like they’re falling into the room. The artist, Hannah Wilke, used everyday objects to change how we see the image. Next, look up Hannah Wilke to see how she turned simple things into art.
