Ah Puch
Bust of a figure from the chest up in three-quarters pose. The head, or perhaps a mask, is white, resembling a skull with a halo of white hair. The neck is dark brown with two white bands like chokers around it, perhaps securing the mask. The figure wears a dark red garment that is trimmed in ornate lace in white and gold. The background is a deep teal green-blue.

Colored
An assemblage of found objects: a salvaged wood frame with wood inlay letters spelling &quot;COLORED,&quot; four portrait photographs of African American females (two photogaphs on either side of a printed poem), nine thread samples under photographs, and one hand mirror hanging on a decorative brass hook to the viewer&#39;s right of the frame. The poem reads:&nbsp;<br /> &quot;Light is Alright<br /> Yellow is Mellow<br /> Brown, Stick Around<br /> Black, Get Back<br /> (but black don&#39;t crack)&quot;<br /> <br /> The wood has a strong smell, may have been treated with molasses.<br /> <br /> &nbsp;
