Label texts

Archive Label: “Broken Scissors came from a drip kind of technique of taking enamel, black enamel, and swishing it around à la Jackson Pollock, a little like automatic writing. I’d make a composition in the process of dripping. There are some rectangular forms in it too, I don’t know whether I used a palette knife on this occasion. It seems to me I used a little silver paint too.”
