Title: Childhood Leaving
Size: 15.2 cm x 23.3 cm Medium: Block Print Completion: September 2022 Exhibition Text: "Childhood Leaving" is a representation of growing up and no longer being a child. Teenagers are often told to "grow up", whether it's no longer being able to do certain things or having to take on new responsibilities. I feel like I have had to leave my childhood in the past and move on to becoming an adult. This was inspired by Kathe Kollwitz's The Widow ll which focuses on the loss of a child. Her use of the contrast between black and white, the position of the mother inspired my print.
