"The Woodstack"
1996

A collage featuring two vertical strips of paper with black-and-white portraits of children on either side of a central image depicting a large pile of chopped firewood. The portraits include names and ages, and the image of the woodpile has a caption about various types of trees being sold as firewood in Truro. The overall presentation suggests a memorial or tribute, with a somber or reflective tone.
