2018.33.6.5: Unity (mylar/separation)
PrintsOn an off-white background, a group of figures are incompletely rendered in dark gray and black lines and marks. At top center-left, an outline of a shoulder and arm, and a partial outline of a head appear with a group of stripes in the shape of a necktie. At center-right, a woman’s lips hover in white space above patterned marks that form the dress of a seated woman. Within her dress, white space opens up in the shape of a smaller figure in a dress, and at lower left is the partial outline of a small boy.
