Aces and Eights, Michael Ellison, Published by Rolling Stone Press, lithograph
Thick slabs of bacon sit atop a man’s head, presumably the artist. The man is shown in profile and the bacon is arrange in a line on his head, similar to how a mohawk would look. His hair is short otherwise and the photograph ends at the top of his ear, erasing any identifying facial features. The photo is set against a stark black background.
Yosemite Valley, Robert Werling, gelatin silver print
On a large piece of buff paper, two holes are cut out of the center, like eyes. A red thread is sewn around the opening of the holes, like eye lashes. The red thread loops down below the holes like a mouth and the needle is inserted into the paper. A second needle with red thread is inserted in the lower right quadrant.
