Description
An archival pigment print photograph of collaged images. At center, a black-and-white photograph of an older man surrounded by young children in the interior of a house has been torn along one edge and cut into the shape of a house. It is depicted at a slightly curved angle, set against a background black-and-white image of bare tree limbs, so that the house-shaped image appears to be resting in the branches. The print is mounted on black sintra pvc board with back frame and a label with the artist, title, date, medium, and dimensions.
