I use a lot of tape when I’m work­ing on my Dys­pa­gia Series. I’ve been sav­ing these tapes for quite some time and have finally used them in a com­po­si­tion. They where used on an ear­lier por­trait of Zayda. I usu­ally throw away the checked strips but saved these for some rea­son. I noticed that when I stag­gered the squares and put them back together, my mind filled in the blanks and recon­structed her face though most of the image was miss­ing. The board is the sup­port that I used for years on my pas­tel life draw­ings. It car­ries the ghosts and ener­gies of many images . This is on of my favorite pieces, the ambi­gu­ity intrigues me.
