Hi, Chris. Your description and analysis of the piece are right on, and also the connections to what you're doing. The work is from 1999; I documented similarly-executed stuff here but I can see I need to go further with the details and whatnot to get it across. One problem is, if the piece is hanging on the wall you don't get to see the back either. Some people didn't know the surface was paper; most assume the paper is glued onto canvas, and some have actually flinched and gotten offended when I turned the piece around and showed how flimsy the construction is. (I remember one artist lecturing me that I had a responsibility to future owners to make objects that would "last.") Anyway, I'm going to say more about all this in a future post. Thanks for giving it a look.
