Self Portrait at 48

Front of print: A large lithographic print in black and white on deckle edged paper. The central image is a bounded pentagonal shape with a kaleidoscopic scene inside of it, centering a complex assemblage of rods tied with hair or a similar fiber. It is suspended from a series of pipes above, and flanking it reflected on each side is the image of a standing person, their top half obscured by canvas.
