Policewoman in French Protest

1980, 19.5" x 21.5"

collage on board

This was a quick exercise of tearing magazine pieces and making a collage. As I was doing it, a Parisian policewoman materialized on my paper. She was overwhelmed in the midst of a protest with leaflets flying everywhere. It was a strangely beautiful moment for me as this picture came to life. I have since wanted to keep it on the wall near my desk.
