Artwork > Archive: Collages, Constructions, Colored Drawings

I made these collages and constructions during the early and mid-1980s, when I lived on Second Avenue in Manhattan and then in the Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. I’m not sure of the exact date for every piece, so I just guessed and listed 1980, 1981, 1982, or 1983.
