Notes
After this small apron was made to fit on a standard size of zinc plate, it was etched on a zinc plate. It was relief printed with a roller on damp rag paper. After the paper dried, photographic hand images were heat transferred to the print.

This was the first print in the Exploited Apron Series. The impact of the small apron was disappointing. The actual apron was custom made to fit on a standard size of zinc plate. Another small apron was made and printed with different gestures. However the small size of the aprons reduces the impact of the gestures and these experiments were unsatisfactory.
