Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the white borders tend more towards a cream tone in the original. Condition: These works are in very good condition. Each sheet is hinged verso to the mount in several places. Extremely close inspection reveals some very minor handling marks along the edges of some of the prints.

Catalogue Note

"As an artist… I am interested not in singular readings, but in constructing networks of images and meanings capable of reflecting the complexity of the subject."
