Prelude to I.L., 1984
2005

Two long, horizontal framed artworks displayed one above the other on a wall. The top piece features a strip of material with remnants of text and graphics in red, blue, and black, suggesting it might be a torn piece of advertising or packaging. The bottom piece shows a similar strip, but with much fainter text and graphics, predominantly in shades of pink and blue, with words partially visible. Both pieces evoke a sense of decay or deconstruction.
