Untitled (Figure, Red Ground)

1980s (est.)

I started this in the ’80s and kept working on it for decades. That’s an old photocopy of my face from around 1983. I only had so many pictures framed in glass, and it was just around — sentimental reasons, maybe. It’s still in my basement.

Look for the CD that fell into the picture. It’s misplaced.
