About this work

This piece looks like a collage. There’s a black-and-white photo of a woman’s face and shoulders at the top. Below it, strips of old paper—some red, some green—are stacked like a messy wall. The woman’s face appears again at the bottom, but it’s cut up and hidden behind the paper strips. The artist used real printed paper, like tickets or labels, to build this wall. The words on them are hard to read, but they add texture. Look up Elaine Lustig Cohen next to see more of her collage work.
