About this work

Three Girls is a paint-by-numbers canvas that stays close to the drawing stage: three figures remain as numbered outlines over pale washes of blue and green.

Like the other paint-by-numbers works, it treats a mass-produced children's hobby as a way of remembering — the numbered key stands in for memory itself.
