Aunt Emily, Margaret Richardson, pencil
A multimedia collage featuring multiple photographs. The composition is divided into three sections composed primarily of black-and-white collaged photos of a field of daisies. The center column has a newspaper clipping of an illustration of a gun. The gun is pointed to the left and words, though illegible, are visible.
In this black and white photograph, a smiling African American man wearing a suit and tie sits, holding the comics section of a newspaper between his knees. There is a long diagonal crease that moves into the image from the upper left corner, and there is intermittent pink-red spotting on the left half of the image.
