This shot shows me inking and printing off the cracked linoleum and exposed cement on the floor. I later drew into the print to emphasize the cracking surface. The print is shown in the next image.

This print was made by inking the floor of Edward Albee's barn. I then drew into the print adding very small circular shapes to accentuate the crack in the floor.

After inking one section of the floor, I decided to make small moveable prints to lay on sections of the broken linoleum. I then decided to paint directly on the floor isolating sections with white enamel. A second inked section was added last.
