HEAD EXAMINATION

1997

Donald R Ricker

(8"x8" inkjet digital original)


The ghostly, highly technical magnetic resonance image was used as a bitmap fill for the inverted background of the pencil sketch study for PINTURA. The solid black openings into the skull are intimations of the artist's determination to overcome medical difficulties..

HEAD EXAMINATION  was exhibited at the University of Alaska Anchorage Campus Center Gallery during the month of December 1997. It was selected by Juror Rudie Berkhout for inclusion in NO BIG HEADS, a national competition of self-portraits no larger than 12"x12".
