One other characteristic of this “artwork expertise” is a sequence of mixed-media prints, all untitled and made this 12 months, depicting collage-like tableaus, together with a strapping, glistening male torso from behind; a big doll-like male determine traipsing by a bucolic panorama; and the remoted head of a bull set in opposition to a map with strains crisscrossing in star-like patterns.
