Phossil (interpetation of a given photograph hand-painted onto porcelain) commission for L & K in London. This work is interpreted from six oustanding photographs by Ernest Bellocq, (1873 – 1949) the American photographer who worked in New Orleans. The original photographs were found in a box at auction by Lee Friedlander thus the arcane environment of the drawer for presentation.
