About this work

Christopher Wool turns his own 1980s text painting into a screenprint called *My House I*. He photographed the original, then xeroxed and re-separated it for the print run. The blurred words mimic the look of stenciled graffiti or fading movie titles. This print is one of three in the series. Wool plays with layers—what looks hand-painted might be printed, and vice versa. Check out more of Wool’s work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
