Untitled (#3 from Grandpa Bill)
1991, printed 2011

An elderly man with white hair sits at a table in a cluttered living room, reading a newspaper, while a vacuum cleaner runs in the background where an elderly woman is bent over, seemingly cleaning or organizing a bed. The room is filled with various pieces of furniture and personal items, and there is a caption at the top of the image that reads, "Mrs. Brown comes every week to do the cleaning and the mending."
