DescriptionTwo intersecting rings against a plain grey background. The front ring is in the shape of a snake biting its tail. The ring behind is a series of connected objects. Counterclockwise from the top – a mailed right hand facing left and holding a domino with eight dots, a cartoon duck’s head in a striped top hat, a jeweled shape at bottom, another shape that snaps over part of the snake ring, and white appears to be a red body with a fly’s face and long wings dotted in red.Exhibition HistoryThe Lawrence Lithography Workshop: Highlights from the Archive.
