No Fishing Sign no. 123

2011
Cardboard, paint, charcoal, ink
15.75" x 17"

This No Fishing Sign stands out as the only in the series to rely entirely on black ink, paint, and conte. Machine-punched air holes line the cardboard panel, lending to the composition. A wash of black covers the top third. The phrase “NO FISHING” appears below, stacked across two lines. “FISHING” has been scratched over repeatedly with conte crayon.
