Imelda Cajipe-Endaya (b. Manila, 1949) is an artist, curator, writer, and cultural organizer whose work centres on feminism and the roles of women in Philippine history and culture. Although the artist is recognised for her large-scale, collage paintings with strong socio-political themes, her lesser-known prints produced during the 1970s show her embrace of play, experimentation and rhythm in the print medium. Untitled (Rhythmic Play) I and ll are positive and negative images transferred from oil subtractions, a technique in which the artist removes ink or paint from a surface to create an image, from glass with aluminum foil and paper. Reflecting in 1987, Cajipe-Endaya expressed that she felt a deep responsibility to respond visually to the corruption and brutalities of the Marcos regime, admitting, "I was almost always burdened with guilt at doing abstracts."
