Set 3 Dry points // My Left Hand Holding a Piece 3 by Jonathan Monk is a limited edition set of 3 drypoint prints from 2008, produced in an edition of 40. Each print in this triptych presents a simple, linear depiction of Monk’s left hand with a triangular shape positioned in its palm. The repetition of the hand and triangle across the three prints creates subtle variations, prompting viewers to observe minor differences in texture and line quality. This minimalist approach reflects Monk’s exploration of self-representation and the concept of holding onto something both physically and metaphorically. The straightforward, almost meditative quality of the images invites reflections on identity, presence, and the nuances of perception.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
