Chris Ofili
Numerous changes occurred as Ofili worked on Habio Green. The most radical is a 180-degree shift in the print’s orientation. In the first two working proofs, the androgynous figure’s feet point upward, as if the person were diving into a pool of water. But in working proof 8, the figure, now fleshed out as a woman, is upright, hands raised high as water cascades downward (see slideshow, above). Habio Waterfall is in Trinidad, where Ofili lives.
