A Portrait of a Young Girl, revirsed

ED, 2014, acrylic/mylar 24x12

Mylar is a highly durable translucent polymer film. It has some qualities of glass. I've spent almost a decade of early post-immigration years as an employee of khaismanstudio, the stained glass studio owned by my husband, Mark Khaisman. Mylar is a continuation of tradition, an adaptation of many tricks I learned while painting Catholic saints on the traitorous surfaces of glass. "Reversed" is but one of many. It is what you see when you flip the film after you have painted on its other side.
