First published as a hand colored etching by ULAE, Sea from Pool of Tears (after Lewis Carrol), 2022 Reiteration was created by the artist with the help of Nicholas Price of Magnolia Editions in 2022
In Lewis Carroll’s “Alice Underground” Chapter 2, Pool of Tears, Alice grows larger than nine feet tall. Her head has hit the top of the ceiling. She feels sorry for her predicament and begins to cry. She meets a rabbit who drops a fan he carries. Alice fans herself and quickly becomes smaller than she was to begin with. She finds herself in a large pool of tears she created when she was large and wishes she hadn’t cried. She encounters a mouse and then an assortment of animals both natural and unnatural to the sea, that have fallen in and are all trying to find their way to the shore.
We find ourselves in this predicament, drowning in our tears and others accompanying us.
