Set 4 Dry points // My Left Hand Holding a Square 4 by Jonathan Monk is a limited edition set of 4 drypoint prints from 2008, produced in an edition of 40. Each print depicts a simple outline of Monk's left hand, with a square shape centered in the palm. The repetition of the hand and square across the four prints creates slight variations in line texture and placement, inviting close observation of each subtle difference. Monk’s minimalist approach and the deliberate use of repetition evoke themes of identity, continuity, and the physical act of holding. The restrained, meditative composition encourages viewers to ponder the significance of holding a form, both literally and symbolically, and reflects on the uniqueness of each impression in the series.

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.
