Eight

1977

Eight is a collection of prints taken from a portfolio of twenty-four inch “Kwik Print” monoprints. The process was one of addition and subtraction of photosensitive colored pigment on vinyl. “Kwik Print” was similar to biochromate prints invented in the 1850’s, but easier to manipulate and change. I used the circle because of its visual stability and strength, and because it is a constant reminder of the female form.—JPD

This body of work was acquired by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2023 and is now housed in the permanent collection of their Photography Department.
