“A Beckett Metamorphosis was inspired by a photograph

I had seen of Beckett’s face. The series I produced came 

about as a direct emotional response to the power and 

intensity of the image... My principal concern with the 

series was a formal one. Beckett’s face exerts an 

extraordinary iconis hold on the spectator. I was interested 

in conveying this strength, to root the attention of 

the viewer on the face and allow the imagination freedom

to lose itself in a suggestive metamorphosis.” from the artist’s

notes.
