iamb: Chapter 12, Excerpts and Exceptions, with Painting Rack

R. H. Quaytman · 2001-09

This is a chapter from R. H. Quaytman's iamb — silkscreen ink, oil and gesso on wood, shown with the wool-lined rack it is stored in. Quaytman organises her paintings into chapters, like a book, and the rack is part of the work: the paintings are meant to be understood as a set that gets filed away.
