Other print suites reveal the artist’s irreverence and sense of humor, such as one group of offset photographic images rendering nylon stockings and undershirts as semi-transparent veils of color that float like apparitions. The underthings are exposed, but any allusion to intimacy is nullified by the casual, disembodied arrangements. Katjanelson’s wit is also apparent in a print series that organizes the fundamental dots around simple words and their anagrams, such as OH and HO or AH and HA. These works and archival photos of the artist reveal her playful spirit and her ability to balance the serious issues of her work with a healthy appreciation of the absurd.
