These prints, created during a two-week residency, feature pencil drawings, Xerox transfers, and Chine-Collé on paper that was created to mimic plaster, a favored surface of the artist. The papers were manipulated while still soft to form a low-relief texture, while extra pulp was used to introduce additional color.
