About this work

This painting shows two black-and-white photos of people in a dimly lit room. One photo has a group of people standing close together, while the other shows a person with their face blurred. Below the photos is a bright yellow band with the word "BLINK" in bold red letters. Underneath that, three pairs of scissors are printed in gray and blue. The scissors and the word "BLINK" might be a hint about how we see things—quickly or slowly. The photos look like they were cut out and pasted onto the yellow background. If you like this mix of images and text, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more work like this.
