On One Occasion, ver.1
2006
multiple print construction: archival pigment based ink on paper
45" x 45"

Text in image reads: On one occasion, I opened the door. I remember it exactly: the key slid into the cylinder, I twisted my hand to the left, opened the door and you said; "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I want daddy to hold me, I want daddy to hold me, I want daddy to hold me." Then you went vomiting to the toilet, leaning over the bowl, calling for help. I asked, "How can I help you?" You replied, "Help me? Help me? Help me? You don't know how to help me?
