This striking little print is 'Dried' by @emilybyang – swipe to see its journey to the RA! From linoleum block glistening with ink, to an adventure on the tube and hand-delivery to the RA! Plus, some close-ups of that lovely blue.
Emily describes this work as "an imaginary scene in which the artist imagines her multiple identities (real and perceived) tumbling together in a dryer. Just underneath the playful imagery, there is a nod to the underlying violence of being seemingly happy while trapped in a machine; the constant jostling and unpredictable motion; the experience of being unable to truly find rest." She adds: "I find that a lot of people relate to this image because they related to the feeling of tumbling around in a disorienting present."
