About the work

Kiki Smith has created a group of 30 unique prints exclusively for Whitechapel Gallery on the occasion of its 125th Anniversary.

Since the early 1990s, the natural world, and the animal kingdom in particular, has appeared in Kiki Smith’s work. Smith made her first sculpture incorporating a bird in 1992, and since then, birds have remained a powerful symbol.

Smith’s series of prints, entitled ‘Vesper’ feature this bird motif. The artist has hand produced prints in her studio since 2003. Designated as open editions, each work is unique and the series are typically limited to fewer than 100 impressions, with variations occurring over time. These prints share a basic rubber stamp matrix that is printed in watercolour, with each work retouched with white watercolour as one would retouch traditional photographs. That retouching determines where each star is and how many there are, which varies greatly. The stars are painted over the retouched areas with watercolour pens, the background is drawn using colour pencil. 

A photograph has been taken of each impression, which the artist will compile into a pixelated film. Each work is an individual print, but also a single frame of a film.

About the artist

Kiki Smith (b. 1954, Nuremberg) is an American artist, currently living and working in New York and is recognised for her multidisciplinary work that explores the natural world, the metaphysical, and the human body. Since the 1980s, Smith’s work has spanned a variety of mediums such as printmaking, photography, sculpture, glassmaking, drawing, and textiles. Her practice presents psychologically charged works touching on themes of the body, regeneration, mortality, and gender politics, alongside the link between spirituality and the natural world. Smith additionally takes inspiration from the visual culture of the past, such as 18th century scientific renderings of anatomy, as well as folklore, ancient mythology, and religious iconography.

Good price good flavor
Size: 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am super picky with my matcha. This is a Chinese matcha, not Japanese. But it has good taste, as good as ceremonial Japanese matcha. Bright green color. Good price!

The creaminess and nuttiness is there and it is the best in a oatmilk matcha latte and the color is amazing and it is not a culinary grade it is ceremonial

Of good quality...
Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I believe this matcha to be of good quality. However I am fairly new to Matcha in general. Yet I have tried a few different manufacturers. And this is best thusfar. A vibrant green and firm flavor. Foams properly with appropriate technique. Enjoy.

Decent Matcha! I Recommend!
Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is actually not bad, especially for the price! Great color, good taste. Larger size means a little more bang for your buck without sacrificing quality. I find this Matcha equal to others in the same price range but you get a little more. Of course it’s not the exquisite quality but if you are shopping for Matcha in this price range then it’s a great choice. Would buy again.

Amazing quality and value
Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This matcha is a great value. I find others in large packaging do not have the best taste, but smaller ones are often so expensive. This one tastes amazing and it's not going to break the bank, especially if you can get it on sale. It blends nicely when using a matcha whisk, and I love making iced protein matcha lattes with it!
