About this work

This mixed-media collage combines painted areas with pasted paper fragments in blue, green, ochre, and cream, with printed newspaper text visible at the upper left. A rounded head-like form and a central figure-like shape emerge from the overlapping planes, and a handwritten inscription appears at the lower right.
