PENTIMENTO (yellow, yellow, black) 2003, line marker on canvas, 84"x 72”

The Pentimento series explores the notion of altering or changing a code as well as the line marker’s exposure to the natural elements/climate. Line markers are repeatedly painted, then sanded, then repainted or ‘painted out’ for a number of years/coats.
