About this work

This painting shows two faces, side by side. They're made from cut-out pieces of paper in shades of gray, brown, and black. The pieces are arranged to form the shapes of the faces, with some parts overlapping. The background is white paper. The faces are similar but not identical. They have the same shape and features, but the details are different. The paper pieces are cut into different shapes and sizes, and some have rough edges. The overall effect is one of texture and depth. If you like this piece, you might also want to check out the work of artist Nancy Grossman.
