This print comes from a suite entitled ‘Undoings’, referring to Oulton’s concern with analysing or exploring an image by taking it apart, figuratively at least. Her intent is to enable a reassessment of traditional ways of seeing within the canons of Western art. In this image a neck-ruff taken from 17th-century Dutch genre painting has been isolated. It is reconceived as an image that is undefined yet evocative of landscape or a fragment of a magnified view. Conventional vision is, by her reworking, ‘undone’ or transfigured.
