a series of 20 iris-prints on Aquarelle Arches Satine paper, each 76,5 x 56, 5 cm, 1998. Edition of 3. This work was made first in the form of 20 large ink-drawings on similar paper, these drawings were scanned, and the colouring took place in the computer. As a test the ink-drawings had first been water coloured: but these water-color do not constitute a series, but are seen as individual works.
The coloured countries all belong to the European Union.
(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
This work was first installed in the show at Arts Victoria, Melbourne, summer 1998. Then in the artist's one-man show at Galleri Flach in Stockholm, August 1998.
