This work is a grid of small portraits with bright yellow headwraps. Each face is drawn in black and white, some with toy eyes glued on. One big black shape with dots—like a mask—sits at the bottom left. The faces look like they’re cut out and rearranged, with paint splatters and clay stuck on. The artist mixed real photos, drawings, and 3D bits together. Next, check out Ellen Gallagher to see how she builds art from collage and found objects.
