Notes

Exhibited RCA Degree Show, 1980 Exhibited Gallery 52, 1981. "One of the proofs for the lithograph, red plate scuming up. A completely new red plate with tile was made before editioning. This print was more exciting in stage no.2. I was convinced that it had to be a 'hairy' looking plate so I didn't use any acid and because of that I got no crispness in the tag. The title was also a mistake, because the print has dated as a consequence." The artist.
