## Caption

Artists have a variety of methods to make their mark. Every Friday we will share a photograph of an #ArtistInAction.

Having the female figure as a recurring theme, Kiki Smith investigates the body as a personal and yet expandable and broad territory of human experience. Many times she takes her work beyond the autobiographical and creates metaphors using a wide range of materials including sewing, drawing, prints, sculptures, and installations. As a form of landscape or field, the body in her works swings between the personal and political, conceptual and literal. Sometimes as in the case of her 2010 exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum called Kiki Smith: Sojourn ; the physicality of her pencil and crayon drawings implies an act of remaking or touching the bodies of the ones who are no longer present to her.
