A baby, surrounded by a camera, cat, and fish, shows off a photograph in a circus-like spotlight while a macabre, disturbed audience looks on including a woman in a red dress, a robot, a conehead; curtains parted in background show four silhouetted figures who could be a musical band or menacing thugs.

1980s
Two figures face each other, separated by a rift on the ground. The figure on the right looks to be dressed like a cowboy and is mounted on a horse while pointing a gun at the other figure, who seems to wear only a gown and holds their arms out. The piece is overlaid with puzzle pieces that make images of other animals and people, along with other objects that depict animals and people.
