About this work

You see a single, slightly off-center lip print pressed onto paper. The ink bleeds a little at the edges, making the mark feel soft and personal. The print is small—about the size of your palm—and stands alone without a frame. Jacquette made four of these in 1999. They’re etchings, meaning she scratched the image onto a metal plate, then inked it and pressed hard to transfer the design. The lip mark looks casual, but the process is careful and controlled.
