Kasarin Himacharoen

b 1989, Bangkok, Thailand
Lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand
Kasarin “TakTak” Himacharoen’s suite of thirteen colour etchings was originally made for the Bangkok-based printmaking studio, Pineapple Print Press. The undertaking, however, took six months to complete. Choosing to only work on the etchings on days when she was menstruating, TakTak offers up an intimate portrait of the self in synchrony with the body. This sense of arriving at a physical and mental alignment is visualised in the intermingling of solid line and blocks of colour which bleed in-and-out of the female silhouettes she depicts. Capturing these figures in states of rest, motion and contemplation, the thirteen prints spell out a celebratory expression of bodily awareness and autonomy.
