No Title (I began asking her...)
1988

A black and white illustration depicting a dramatic scene with several figures. In the foreground, a person appears to be lying down with a distressed expression, while in the background, other individuals seem to be in a heated conversation. Above the image, text reads, "I BEGAN ASKING HER ABOUT THE NIGHT OF THE FIRE. ALL QUESTIONS— 'ENOUGH!'" The artwork has a bold, graphic style with high contrast between the black and white areas.
