About this work

This collage sticks random objects and photos onto a white page. At the top, there’s a rusty metal piece with holes, a small rusted key, a red plastic toy, and a blue button. Below, eight black-and-white mugshots of men are taped in two rows, each labeled with a name and city. The mugshots look like they’re from a police file, but the objects above feel like junk someone kept. The mix of serious faces and random trash creates an odd contrast. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see the full portfolio this comes from.
