Coronations follows the theme of the book Coronation, taking imagery and rubbings directly from New York City’s architecture. The rubbings are inked with Sumi ink and then printed. The monoprints and rubbings alternate between almost transparent Gifu Shoji paper and opaque Rives BFK paper adding both a tactile pattern and alternating levels of transparency.
