PM is a series of paintings that co-mingles abstraction and trompe l'oeil informed by a collection of toxic wallpapers presented by the Michigan State Board of Health in 1874. The book warns of the hazardous particulate matter (PM) shed by these decorative papers printed with lead and arsenic based pigments.
