FYC asked me to take photos of my painting process. These are the photos I took at each stage of making the Reflection Returnal piece.

I’m sorry that I have told people that Reflection Returnal was painted with an 11 layer stencil – it’s actually a 10 layer stencil, I don’t know why I believed it was 11… maybe from inhaling too much spray fume!
