The work was to be made using a full color copier developed by Sharp, a fairly new product in 1987. Each artist had a copier in his/her home for two months. Pam is part of Beachum's resulting series titled Prized Possessions. In other works, the artist has primarily been concerned with society stereotyping women, yet the electrostatic image is meant as a collaged portrait of the woman Pam with possessions that are important to her.
