[Mamimi is sitting in the MoMA on a
staircase just below one of Matisse's most famous paintings. In front of her is a blank book that looks like its been sewn together from watercolor paper. She also has a pair of large silver scissors, a rubber cement, glue, and stacks of photographs and magazines. There are clips of pictures, a hand here, an eye here, one or two blocks of background with subject shaped holes. She has a lit cigarette between her lips and inhales deeply as she works, exhaling a jet of gray smoke through her nose]
