This week I finally got around to photographing this work from the late 1990s. It was in an exhibition at the Moray Street gallery as a paper collage and then, for about ten years it was in every exhibition I had. I painted over it in layers, year after year. Then finally in around 2005, when I painted my Petticoat series, I decided to stop altering this one.
If you look carefully you can see it is exfoliating, tiny glucose shaped (carbon ring) flakes of paper. These are remnants of thesis. I cut it up and incorporated it into the painting.
