Developed within the context of The Studio residency project at Underdogs Gallery, Bring staring at a wall back was hand-finished by Wasted Rita during her residency.

During her time in the gallery, the artist approached the space as an open and continuously evolving environment, where drawings, phrases, interruptions, and observations gradually accumulated in real time. Extending this process into the edition itself, Wasted Rita introduced hand-applied airbrush interventions directly onto the risograph prints, adding graphic elements that shift across the edition, with certain motifs reappearing intermittently from print to print.

Created alongside a new body of work developed inside the gallery, the edition reflects the sharp humour, immediacy, and critical visual language that define the artist’s practice, translating everyday anxieties, contradictions, and fragments of contemporary life into art.
