Unlike "Rats," the other print I did on a copper plate, this print one was done on lino... It wasn't as tough and hardy as my copper plating, and a couple of pieces did break off... Which is why I edited it on my handy Paint program (said with sarcasm)... You might see the slight flaws where I fixed the problems, so try not to look too close! Another difference with this one is that I didn't alter the same one 4 times on the lino itself, instead I just copied and pasted the original 3 more times: once in reverse and then upside down... I like the effect it created... This "doorway" that is seen here can also be seen in "Waking Dreams," where the child is protecting herself by disappearing into/being surrounded by fantasy...
