"There is a memory-like quality to Lingscheit’s hand-pulled print, with it’s soft plate tones and blank spaces. “Sunday” brings up questions around genderism and Western Christian culture’s long history of upholding patriarchal systems, including men being hunters and providers. Why is it that a hunter’s kill is able to take up space, while women are asked to disappear as outlined voids? Despite the clear allusions to women being at the mercy of men’s decisions, the piece also offers a reclamation of power. In this scene, the women hold the most visual ‘weight’ and ground the entire image with their high contrast and distinct negative space silhouettes - forcing the viewer to acknowledge them."

Carrie Lingscheit's Memento series, the artist is very deliberate in deciding what information is left out and what draws attention into the scene. In Momento No. 5821, there is a large emphasis on body language. It is as if the artist has captured a private moment in time and has allowed us to witness it.

"This piece comes from Carrie Lingscheit's twenty thousand moments project, based on the limitations of our human brains and the amount of information that can be processed and saved from the 20,000 (or so) moments in a given day. Momento No. 3273 (pine) hones in on a feeling, to pine, and the quiet setting where it happens, alone in a bed. It beautifully captures the way we are drawn inward to our own emotions and imagination when we pine for someone or something. Negative space is used to draw our attention down to the dark, intense face; the surroundings are blurred and forgotten, represented only with a lovely watercolor texture, just as we tune out the world when lost in intense thought."
