Each print is numbered, titled and signed by the artist. "A Beckett Metamorphosis was inspired by a photograph I had seen of Beckett's face. The series I produced came about as a direct emotional response to the power and intensity of the image... My principal concern with the series was a formal one. Beckett's face exerts an extraordinary iconic hold on the spectator. I was interested in conveying this strength, to root the attention of the viewer on the face and allow the imagination freedom to lose itself in a suggestive metamorphosis." from the artist's notes.
