Haloid-Xerox transfer drawings and lithographs: Womens' Portrait Series 1972-1980, 19 x 26" 

Through an investigation of the cultural feminine and female archtypes, I thought I might learn something about historical images of women. These are multiple transfers on large sheets of paper—a reconstruction by piecework. The medium is Haloid Xerox, the original view-camera based flatbed Xerox equipment that yielded a carbon image on plain paper—a photographic drawing.
