From the Artist:
Liz Hernández explores the fluidity of identity, challenging the notion of an immutable self. La mujer que se libera de sí misma (The woman who liberates herself from herself) depicts essential symbols in motion–outside of the body, fragments that represent shifting aspects of who we are. Hernández embraces freedom from rigid definitions, highlighting the limitations imposed by authenticity and essentialism.

From 222 Press:
Bringing Liz Hernández into the print shop was like introducing two of your friends who haven’t met, but were meant to know each other. Her line, material sensibility, and graphic instincts wrap so effortlessly around printmaking. La mujer que se libera de sí misma (The woman who liberates herself from herself) is part of a small body of work that we’re proud to share the results with the supporters of Headlands.

From the Artist:
As I live and move through San Francisco, I look up to the signs and down the streets at the vehicles to learn from other painters. In this etching, Mission Chevrolet I am embracing my mixed identities by shifting between modes of painting processes I have learned. As a pinstriper, I aim to compliment the forms that I reference–creating movement, unity, and balance with symmetry as I would painting a vehicle. As a sign painter, there is a slow study of the construction of the letterforms in the hopes of honoring and learning from the original painter. Mission Chevrolet references a recently exposed 1920s billboard, which has been a great inspiration and example of where my two interests and communities intersect.

From 222 Press:
Rose’s work as a sign painter as well as a fine artist makes her work at 222 Press a particularly apt distillation of her practice. There is multiplicity, reversibility, and inversion in Mission Chevrolet that references both halves of a practice that has one foot in the world of advertising and design and the other in the painting studio.
