Convenience Store Woman

Limited Edition of 30, from the Between The Lines Collection

Giclée Print on Hahnemuhle German Etching Paper, 400 x 590mm

The Between The Lines Collection explores the the imagined places set within fictional worlds. This scene depicts an interpretation of the convenience store from the novel Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata. Committing imagined spaces to lines and filling in the gaps left between the authors’ words is an exercise of personal interpretation, memory, and a confrontation with identity. 

“For breakfast I eat convenience store bread, for lunch I eat convenience store rice balls with something from the hot-food cabinet, and after work I just buy something from the store and take it home for dinner. When I think that my body is entirely made up of food from this store, I feel like I’m as much a part of the store as the coffee machine.”
