Bone Plates (# 1 - 3)
2005
12”H x 12”W
blood, archival pigment inkjet print on Tuscan Rag fine art paper

The photographic inkjet images are of surgical bone plates. Using blood taken from my fingertips, I then drew on top of the prints with a fine pen. The resulting collages combine the fine delicate strands of the blood drawings with the photographic images.
