You see a small sheet of notebook paper covered in soft pink and blue washes, with thin, wobbly lines that look like veins or roots. Wilke made this while she was sick with cancer. The title, *Intra-Venus*, plays on words—Venus the goddess, and the medical term for inside veins. The shaky lines feel like her body mapping itself. To see more of her work, look up Hannah Wilke.
