Short A 6 by 6 grid of thin matte sheet metal squares in alternating light and dark greys sits on a similarly grey floor. The photograph is taken at an angle so that the grid and its squares appear more like diamonds than squares.
Short A crudely painted, misshapen person in military garb unnervingly stares at you.
Long An abstract collaged painting of a creepy ginger-bread shaped person wearing elements of a uniform: a maroon sash, military pins, and epaulets. His hair is made of a fringe of an epaulet that frames a face with distorted features. Its right eye is round and bulging, white with a large black pupil; its left is a red iris and a white pupil outlined by green, with a brown raised nose and black horizontal strokes form a mouth with three small white teeth. The body is composed of many green, brown, and tan blotches that almost look like mold or moss. The background is maroon with golden floral decoration. The painting is in a distressed wood gold-and-brown-painted frame.
Short An overhead view of an open wooden box reveals strange objects.
Long An open wooden box shows different objects on both sides. On the left side of the box are twelve carefully arranged doll arms. It appears as though these arms, and the surface to which they are affixed, have been painted over with matte black paint. The paint is lightly chipped away in some areas. On the right side of the box appear to be some sort of tools, one that resembles a sort of rusted trowel attached to a chain and the other a wooden brush with extremely long bristles. The box and its contents all look old and worn, like something you might find in an old attic. The overall composition leaves an eerie, otherworldly impression.
Short This sculpture is composed of differently sized, disembodied breasts stacked atop one another and that seem to squeeze out of a clear pedestal, like bubbles.
Short A strange, vivid orange structure looks like the wooden storefront, including a door and display window. The windows are mostly covered by white sheets.
Short In this black-and-white photograph, a shirtless young man driving while resting his left elbow on the car window is seen from the passenger side of the vehicle.
Long A black and white portrait of a shirtless young man driving, photographed from the passenger side of the vehicle. His bent left arm leans on the frame of the open window with his hand casually hanging inside. The bright sunlight over exposes the exterior and we only see white outside the vehicle; the boy's elbow disappears into the white background. The bottom frame of the photograph cuts across his shoulder; we only see a portion of his right arm in the lower right of the image, reaching up to the top of a steering wheel just outside the frame. Bangs tousled against his furrowed brow and lips slightly ajar, he looks out the front window, just beyond the right frame of the image.
Short In this black-and-white photograph, a shirtless young man with a small tattoo in the center of his chest is reflected in the left panel of a three-paneled mirror that fills the frame. His arms are raised above his head as he brushes his hair, looking at himself sideways.
Long The three-paneled mirror is out of focus and fills the frame of the image. An empty room with floral wallpaper and a tiled ceiling behind him fill most of the reflection, he is confined to the lower left of the frame. His observes himself, face turned to the side, and muscular arms raised to brush his wavy hair with a plastic brush. A small black line tattoo of a cross is on the center of his chest.
Long A black-and-white photograph shows a pale-skinned person sitting in the back of a car with condensation on the window. Half of the person's face is hidden by a shadow.
Short A thin, shirtless young man poses with his right arm behind his head, looking to his left. Behind him a portrait of Jesus hangs on the wall, looking in the same direction.
Short A person with voluminous hair holds a cigarette.

Short A man in a white shirt and tie and dark pants sits on a multicolor model of a miniature town that takes up the fore and middle-ground of a landscape of grass and night sky.
Long In this painting, a man wearing dress clothes—black pants, loafers, a white button-up and tie—sits on a swivel chair and pensively rests his chin on his hand while crossing his legs. He sits atop a structure that forms part of a multicolor compound resembling a sprawling miniature town. This town is composed of numerous open stairways, arches, courtyards, a smoke stack, and pillars, and it is characterized by multicolored surfaces (in red, orange, green, purple, and blue) and hard edges. Two tall structures bearing the portraits of two men loom over the self-contained environment. The man and the small world he contemplates reside in a dark landscape of green grass and night sky. A many ringed circle of different light blues interrupts the darkness to form a halo backdrop of the seated man's bust.
Short A woman poses seductively against a black background. Her face, body, breasts, torso, and hip are all collaged from different images. Her face is hallowed with deep shadows; her chest is a black and white clipping featuring a white lace bra; and her torso is a newspaper clipping that says, "10 Southland Men Killed in Action."
Short The head of a bald person is rendered in a dark mustard color against a white background
Long A human face, seen from the neck up, is centered against a white background surrounded by a thin black border. The head of the person is bald and rendered with a dark-mustard skin tone, with protruding ears, deep black eyes, and gestural eyebrows. A faint outline of a mouth is also noticeable. The white background is lightly textured in shades of white and cream.
Short Four cactuses and three images of a woman in cowgirl garb appear on a white background with blue sky.
Long In the vertical image, the top fifth is blue, with the tops of four green cactuses extending up to the edge of the image. The cactuses grow from a white, wavy foreground like sand dunes. The whiteness extends to the bottom of the image. Next to one of the cactuses is a photo of the smiling cowgirl woman, standing with her hand on her hip. She wears a cowboy hat, red and white gingham top unbuttoned to her navel, yellow shorts, and brown cowboy boots while holding a small pistol in her other hand. The same photo is copied and manipulated twice beneath the original photo, with each copy slanting in opposite directions in a zig-zag pattern. In the bottom right corner, the back side of a postcard appears, as if pasted to the image.
Short A mustachioed, middle-aged man standing against a solid dark terra-cotta background is rendered in loose brushstrokes. While fully clothed, his bare left knee juts out from the side of his hip.
Long This is a painting of a fair-skinned, middle-aged man standing against a brown background. His gaze is directed at the viewer. He is bald and has a mustache and a goatee. He wears a beige turtleneck and bright blue jeans. His right hand is obscured, resting in his pocket, while his left hand hangs in front of him. A bare leg is jutting out from the side of his hip, knee bent.

Short A grainy black-and-white image shows a person in a white shirt and black pants with their left leg in the air. They stand against the far wall of a large, open room.
Short Four concentric circles painted on a square canvas with a dark wood frame
Short A painting of a small yellow ochre circle is surrounded by a brighter yellow radius on the lower center edge of a square beige canvas.
Long A beige, square canvas with a slender, dark wood frame. A large, dark orange circle nestled within three concentric rings occupies the bottom center of the painting. The innermost circle is a solid, yellow-orange, resembling the yolk of an egg. It is is uniformly encircled by a thin and white ring. The next ring is the largest; it is bright yellow and broad, almost the width of the center circle’s radius. It is an imperfect ring, with a small, rounded bite missing at the 11 o’clock position. A fourth ring, slightly darker beige than the canvas, appears faint and transparent; the effect is less a shadow than a secretion spreading from the paint. The circles are vivid and immediately draw your eye, but they show no illusion of depth, and the overall effect of the painting is very flat. As you look closer, you notice a tiny dot of bright yellow floating to the upper left of the circles, like a planet orbiting a many-ringed sun.
