"This print is among my first attempts to directly output an edition from work done on a graphics computer. The image derives from the "Seven Rooms" paintings now being shown at documenta - stark spaces, which I felt invited habitation. Inspired by a visit to an exhibition of late Degas paintings, I decided for a woman rising from her bath. "Bathroom" is complex in that a level of geometric abstraction is added to the surface. This is intended to flatten a representation of space so strongly accented that the areas of unbroken color have a hard time in holding their own. The fluidity of blurred photographic texture ads another dimension to the room - a psychological layer emerges into view."
