This is a mixed media collage I did as a poster background to advertise a course in “angry” novels. The paper dolls are cut from the Jones and Smith pages of the phone book and pasted on art paper and outlined. Then I emphasized and embellished one of the dolls and made it a bit more angry-individual. Sometimes conforming can make one resentful and angry, and sometimes that anger gets turned outwards. The theory is that every once in a while, certain people who seem so normal on the outside just snap, get angry, and rebel.
