Heavy Metals in the Bathtub
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
I was at a motel at night, Blade Runner glowing neon and small shops. I went into one of the rooms, there was a bathtub with lots of bubbles. I sit on the edge and put my feet in. A geography teacher walks in with a student. He says something along the lines of being thankful and surprised it didn't harm me because there were poisonous heavy metals in there. I can see the flakes under the water.

This paper has the exact same make-up as the original is painted on - 100% α-cellulose. Acid- and lignin-free. There is a visible structure to the paper which gives a textured look and feel close to the original.
It is certified ISO 9706. Which means it conforms to museum quality for the highest age resistance.
I scan the original (not photograph) so it is as accurate as can be. Including all the oily lumps and strokes of the originals. And then If it’s needed I colour-correct on a colour-accurate studio monitor with the original in front of me.
