This piece looks like a collage of old court papers, a pink eviction notice, and handwritten notes. There’s a small drawing of a person in a hooded jacket, scribbled over a torn piece of paper. A red lipstick mark sits alone near the bottom left, and a tiny sketch of a face appears in the corner. The whole thing feels messy, like someone glued together scraps of real life. The eviction notice is dated 1987, but the artist made this in 1992. It’s like she froze a moment of legal trouble and turned it into art.
