2018.33.45: Autobiography: Past & Present II
PrintsTwenty three various different images, printed in tan, blue, or light green appear at irregular intervals across a long horizontal rectangle. Nine of these are small, cut out images of eyes. The remaining images include ancient artifacts, a map of an island, a ship, Japanese woodblock prints and an illustration of intestines. These are superimposed over an arrangement of larger shapes in light tan of nine hands and two heads. Behind these, the background is a color gradient that ranges from pale peach at left, to purple at center, back to peach at right. Irregular transparent red spots appear across the entire surface.
