Notes
The central photographic image was heat transferred onto BFK Rives rag paper. The black background was relief printed. The fork and spoon images were off-set onto the BFK Rives rag paper.

The skull and cross bones arrangement of the fork and spoon warn of the deadly effects of housework. This print is reproduced in the large format book by Joan Murray, with the title “Home Truths.” It is also reproduced in the catalogue for the Exhibition at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery. The student News paper at Queen’s University printed a review of the exhibition Slow Boil with the title “F is for Fork”.
