Little Match Girl

An 8x10 screen print showing a burnt match along side text that reads "I'd burn my last match for you." Underneath that is the image of a lit zippo lighter asking in response "What if you didn't need one to begin with?"

“"Little Match Girl" is a screenprint exploring the themes of class from the original tale and questioning the tragedy of her circumstance to begin with. While her dedication and willingness to sacrifice all that she has is admirable, what if we could build a community where she was never in that situation to begin with.”
