This black and white photograph represents darkly colored dried kelp sitting on light colored sand.
A small white church sits at the center of the composition. The church stands in a flat clearing of low grass and bare dirt. Behind the church are trees. The sun brightly lights the church.
Night lake scene
Black female figure crawling across the screen of a large analog television, indicated by the brown, paneled frame and two large, black dials on the right hand side. The background is comprised of long strips of colored paper – white, yellow, light blue, green army camouflage, fuchsia, stars and stripes, and cobalt blue – that are arranged in the form of the SMPTE (The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) color bars test pattern. Though the central figure crawls across this pattern, she also appears to emerge from it as the long piece of camouflage paper dissects her body at the waist. She has wild, black, tentacles for hair. Her face is rendered with several small pieces of colored paper – red, pink, yellow, blue, green, and white. The outside of her left arm, as well as the inside of her right arm are constructed in a similar manner, made out of various sized colored triangular paper. She also wears a leopard print bikini.
