Over time, Katjanelson’s allegiance to the grid gives way to more relaxed imagery. Perhaps taking Andy Warhol’s lead, she used topical press images like the Beatles in the 1960s, or she rendered lips and eyes as pop objects. Other figuration appears as a series of self-portraits or studies of trees. The flat surface is sometimes sacrificed to Chine collé, or it is activated as a relief by the application of collaged bottle caps. All these variations of prints speak to Katjanelson’s relentless curiosity and her willingness to work with a wide variety of art applications. She seems uninhibited in her experimentation, willing to try, willing to stumble. Adept at Minimalism, Op, Pop, Conceptualism, photography and film as well as printmaking, art exercised her active mind.
