Snotrags
1992
mixed media: a museum-authorized forgery by Yolande Macias McKay; work includes the following instructions:
Only a sick person can complete this forgery. Please wait until you have active allergies, runny nose, or any condition that may require the expulsion of mucilage through the nose (oral phlegm is also suitable). An off center target area may be preferable.
Step 1: Blow your nose or in some other projetile manner apply mucoid matter to snotrag provided. You may repeat this step as many times as you like.
Step 2: Decide which abstract painter's work your creation most resembles; apply forged signature with small brush and paint.
McKay made this project addressing the subject of forgery for the museum.
