This series is a portrait done in acrylic, pencil and photography of Janet Guthrie. The finished portrait was photographed and Xeroxed time and again, zooming in on the central figure, an object here or there, using what ever interested her the most to carry into the next phase of her work. But totally dissecting the original work, adding and subtracting ideas, reducing it down to a simpler shape eventually to brown prints and blueprints, Campbell reconstructs a whole new work from the old one, so that the original portrait becomes only a working drawing.
