In January 1994, Sue visited the Galveston (Texas) Hospital at the invitation of her friend and fellow artist, Dr. Eric Avery. The mixed media drawing, Kaposi's Sarcoma, [detail on left] shows Dr. Avery massaging the back of a patient in the late stages of AIDS. On this trip Coe met, interviewed and (with their permission) drew a number of patients. One result of that visit is this portfolio of ten black and white prints: 7 line etchings and 3 photo-etchings (with hand-coloring on the photo-etching titled, Blue Bath). An edition of 40 was published by Sue Coe and Steve Murray, including a cover stock case imprinted with a red toxic waste symbol. The edition is numbered 1/40 - 40/40, on Fabriano paper (13" x 9 5/8"). Plate sizes vary.
