As I was working on Rick’s portrait, I became aware that no matter who you are we are all beggars. We all must rely on others for our existence. Even if it is just as a child. But the truth is that there are times when we must rely on friends, family, or even strangers for our benefit. I put my portrait center stage among a collage of silkscreen collage. Then across the bottom I wrote the words “Beggars All”. I Also added my zip code to make it more applicable to me. Then I invited the technicians that were working with me on the print to add their phone numbers to the image. They were excited to be a part of the process. All the words and phone numbers and zip code were partially obscured by the silk screen components.
