After visiting New York in the mid-1960s and encountering works by American Pop artists, Jones abandoned his gestural and painterly style in favor of hard edges and unmodulated forms. He wrote that he also "learned something from the heraldic use of color used by the American pop artists," and was inspired to take up explicitly erotic imagery common among many American Pop works, like the disembodied lips and buoyant tie placed suggestively in Self. He produced this screenprint in response to an invitation from Tanglewood Press to contribute a print to the portfolio New York International.
