About this work

You see a grid of faint, wobbly lines that look like they were traced from a blurry photograph. The shapes are hard to make out—maybe a face, maybe a body, but nothing clear. This print is part of a series Hamilton made from James Joyce’s *Ulysses*. He took a single scene and redrew it over and over, each time making it less distinct. The lines get softer, like memory fading. If you like how he plays with images, look up the technique etching, drypoint, aquatint.
