Notes

Shown RCA Degree Show 1980. Shown Gallery 52, 1981. "This print was made when I knew that I was not going to be studying for 3 years to get my Masters Degree. I decided that if I was going to receive it I would print one myself much better than the award. I got hold of the original plates used for printing the degree's and added all my favourite artists at the time, while acknowledging my lecturers Alf Dunn and Alister Grant. I printed them around the border. Also with the dry emboss from the Library for stamping books and a seal in wax with the crest I created the official seal. I also forged the signatures of the professors and Rectors.".
