Catcher, Catch Her is an ongoing series of artist’s books that incorporate experimental printmaking techniques and has been the foundation Hajosy’s book arts since 2010. The books are memorials to women in her life who have battled cancer. Hajosy says, “Each book has her own story, a personal narrative that’s unique. The work reflects on the definitions and evolutions of femininity, fertility, mortality, as well as trophyism. The “narrative” is pushed by the struggle with perception, in the artist’s book – we see the nets without orientation – which side are you on? These women – these books question that role… Is she the catcher, or is she caught?”
