Printmaking is where process meets play. I work mainly with screenprinting and lino, drawn to the rhythm, layering, and unexpected textures each technique offers. Every print is a small act of repetition and reinvention.

Look ThroUgh, Look Within

Inspired by Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s iconic short story, this lino printed wallpaper design draws from the protagonist’s growing obsession with the patterns on her walls. Layered, intricate, and deliberately unsettling, the design echoes the visual and psychological tension in the text , where hidden figures and shifting motifs reflect a slow, surreal descent into unraveling. What appears decorative at first glance becomes claustrophobic, mirroring how the mind can distort the everyday when trapped and unheard.

Charlotte Perkins’ “The Yellow Wallpaper” depicts the protagonist’s fixation on the wallpaper as a metaphor for her mental unraveling. The intricate patterns and hidden figures within the wallpaper mirror the complexities of her own mind, offering visual representations of her internal struggles. This connection between her emotional state and the seemingly lifeless patterns on the wallpaper underscore the profound impact of mental health on one’s perception of the surrounding world, turning ordinary subjects into mirrors of inner strife.

Seeing one’s internal struggles reflected in inanimate objects is seemingly surreal but common phenomenon. Our mental state alters our perception of the physical world around us, blurring the lines between the tangible and intangible.
For this project, explore this phenomenon by creating a wallpaper design drawing inspiration from the use of symbolism in “The Yellow Wallpaper”, as well as from personal experiences.
