The Caretakers

An homage to the female members of his family, Kaulitz created these double-sided prints in honor of his mother and two half-sisters. While the men in his life were “present but more like participants in a game of musical chairs,” the women were consistent. Kaulitz wanted to tell their story through these mixed-media monotypes, which include relief, intaglio, lithography, screen printing, letterpress, and digital transfer. They are a monumental 54” x 29” in size. The Caretakers series was included as part of a 2008 solo exhibition at the Alaska State Museum in Juneau.
