A hanging sheet of translucent beige paper with upper case letters painted across it inside a grid of stitched lines. Each square of the grid contains nine letters.
Krystal Ramirez uses process-based repetition in analog media to articulate intimate moments of absence, vulnerability, and desire. She created this work as an institutional critique of galleries and museums, highlighting the absence of a consistent Latinx presence in the contemporary art world. An earlier iteration of I Want to See was installed in the Clark County Government Center Rotunda from January–March, 2017. This version was created during the artist’s 2017–18 residency at Juhl Las Vegas. (DKS)
