Replicating the Tattoos of Another Woman
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
I was in an apartment with a few others. They were screwing a lens to a camera. A woman is lying in the next room. I was replicating the tattoos of another woman on her; it felt like I was contracted to do so. Someone from the upper floor of another building saw through the window.

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.
