Untitled, c. 1988

Acrylic and xerographic transfer

19 x 20 in (48.26 x 50.8 cm)

this piece looks like the background overall pattern is made by zero transfer, but it's pages from a book that are backwards and they create a sort of a checkerboard pattern and there's another checkerboard pattern that's vertical as opposed to the one which is horizontal so these patterns are intersecting create kind of a very odd dense maybe destruction of text. I'm not quite sure what that means. I mean it's one of those there was a French movement movement in the 70s called it's LETTRISTE or in a French pun “ Le Triste” which means the sadness. Imposed on top of that surface or painted on top of it is it acrylic painting well well executed of a flower perhaps an orchid in the jungle with some vines it's actually really beautiful and it's very odd. Perhaps you could also make a reference to the poet Baudelaire’s
Poem, Fleur Du Mal or Flower of Evil.
