“Blueprint” 2015
Paint on paper, 7.5″ x 10″

“Blueprint” was created when Kirty painted over a picture with the saturated primary colors. Kirty painted a blue box, and inside that box is a print of a foot-step. After painting over the picture, Kirty then closed the book allowing the paint to print over on the other page creating a paint splatter effect.
