About the print: Clothespin with Paint, 1993 “Post Pop Idea from walking the streets and this clothespin by city hall was all the buzz. I took a picture of a clothespin, made it into a paper negative, tore that paper negative constructively and enlarged it onto gelatin silver paper. I then selenium toned it, bleached it, fixed it, flattened it. Since it was all in the paper, “it” had to get out. So instead of working in the paper, I put acrylic paint on the surface to extend and alter the hope of letting “it” out.”
