KLEPTOMANIA AND HABITUAL FALSEHOOD
KLEPTOMANIA AND HABITUAL FALSEHOOD is an 8 x 6 limited edition signed print. The title is from a chapter in J.D. Quackenbos’s 1901 book on Hypnotism. I had planned to use the original cover but it was too tattered even for my use. (Wabi sabi and all that.) So I made a new one. The poor thief, #24071, was a found black and white mug shot that I enlarged, photo dyed and cut out.Bet Martha Stewart wasn’t this stylish when she went to prison. And bet this prisoner’s hat pin was removed. By the way, she was framed. The charges? Falsehoods. All falsehoods. And that’s the truth. #kleptomania #kleptomaniac #lying liars #hypnotism #victorianfashion #femalecrime #crime #peterjketchum #ketchumart #artspanprints
