The pho<strong>to</strong>graphic image <strong>is</strong> pulled apart, ‘handled’ and put back <strong>to</strong>gether again. However,<br />
the pieces do not quite fit. Maguire’s slightly imprec<strong>is</strong>e painting of the pho<strong>to</strong>graph on<strong>to</strong><br />
film often results in a m<strong>is</strong>-reg<strong>is</strong>tration of the white snow particles, allowing the colour of<br />
each of the three sheets <strong>to</strong> seep in<strong>to</strong> the next layer. The effect <strong>is</strong> at once familiar and<br />
strange, and fingerprints and brushstrokes create additional diversions.<br />
