A hand-sculpted red fingerprint hangs at the centre of a deep violet field, its ridges crisp and raised on the right and sinking into darkness on the left. The field was built by pressing painted vellum onto the canvas and pulling it away, and the ridges of an abandoned first composition still cross behind the print.
