Untitled (Mexican Notebook)
1984

A sketch on paper featuring a variety of small, loosely drawn figures and objects, possibly representing a person's belongings or items from a specific culture. The drawings include hats, shoes, a bag, a cup, and other miscellaneous items, rendered in a warm, earthy palette with red-brown outlines and shading. The bottom of the image contains the text "T.O. - 11/84 mexico," suggesting the sketches may be related to a trip or study from Mexico in November 1984.
