Not on view
Sculptural work: four bundles of aged, stained photographs bound with crossed rubber bands, mounted on a gray wall, each showing a deteriorated photographic image on its face
Worn rectangular book or bundle bound with rubber bands, its deteriorated cover bearing a faded photographic image of a child and partially legible text, with peeling and darkened surfaces in teal-gray tones.
Aged, stained book or album bound closed with twine in an X-pattern across the cover, which bears a faded photographic image of a group of figures standing in a row beneath bare trees.
Worn and weathered book or album bound shut with elastic bands forming an X pattern, its cover bearing a faded photographic image of a group of people seated and standing in a domestic interior, with framed pictures visible on the walls behind them.
Worn and heavily aged book or album bound with two crossed strings, its cover bearing a faded photographic image of a harbor scene with ships and a city skyline, surface scratched and stained throughout.
