About this work

This piece shows three framed sections on brown paper. The first has a blue circle with a wavy line inside, the second a simple crayon doodle of a face, and the third a small photo of a man in a black hat. Each frame is outlined in pencil, and the whole thing looks like a rough collage. The photo in the third frame is cut out, leaving a clean edge around it. The other two sections feel more like sketches or stamps. It’s all handmade and a little messy, like notes stuck to a wall. Next, look up Robert Filliou to see how he played with art like this.
