Description
An archival pigment print photograph of collaged images. In the foreground of the image is a black-and-white printed paisley motif with a center cut out through which the viewer peers at a black-and-white photographic print of a woman standing with a stack of books held in the crook of her arm. The photograph of the woman has been cut out and arranged to stand atop an image of a white picket fence, her shadow falling across a piece of sheet music for "Glory to His Name." In the background is a black-and-white image of a cabin. The print is mounted on black sintra pvc board with back frame and a label with the artist, title, date, medium, and dimensions.
