About the work

For this limited edition artwork - produced especially for The Whitechapel Gallery - Harrison collapses several portraits into a single image. Through her practice of painting photographs, Harrison takes a medium designed in many ways for multiplicity and converts it into a unique work. With the edition this process is reversed, but also acknowledged through the matching of both the reproduced paint and photograph with the colour bar.
