Kiki Smith was an artist in residence at Pilchuk Glass School in the summer of 1993. At the end of each session there is an auction of artists and students art work with proceeds to benefit the school. This piece was created during the residency. // 1st State Self Portrait by Kiki Smith, created in 1993, is an etching that captures a hauntingly intimate and textured self-portrait. The work, created during Smith’s residency at Pilchuck Glass School, reveals her characteristic style of detailed line work and organic textures. In this print, the face appears weathered and deeply expressive, with an almost spectral quality, as if capturing both the physical and emotional layers of the self. The loose and intricate lines that form the hair and facial features suggest vulnerability and introspection. This piece is a powerful exploration of identity and the human condition, rendered in a minimalistic yet impactful manner.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
