(2025 post) Art Up Close: This large-scale drawing by Kate Horvat depicts activist Malala Yousafzai. The dot patterns replicate the style of a dithered digital image. The imagery is almost illegible up close, but moving farther away makes the dots resolve into a picture of Yousafzai holding a microphone. Horvat uses shades of yellow to evoke the women's suffrage movement.
