DescriptionCollaged onto a black painted background are two pages from a "Life" magazine spread. The pages include text and two photographic illustrations, one of a deceased female child, and the other a crowd fleeing from a circus tent fire. Oval shapes of yellow, brown, green and black paint dot the surface, obscuring areas of text and image. Above and over the image there are two poured areas of white paint and several minimal areas of dripping.Copyright© Nate Fors
