Elizabeth Layton, CENSORED

CENSORED - August 10, 1989 This old woman is bound and gagged and can no longer draw. Her principles have been X-ed out. I guarantee you she feels like a zilch. In the background, from top left, counter-clockwise; Interstate 70 billboard art by Tillie Woodward, of a Nazi soldier hanging two Russian resistance fighters, which was censored and plastered over June 5, 1985; the Goddess of Liberty falling broken in China's Tianemen Square; a pile of the old woman's drawings torn up and censored; quotation, "The first exception (to the First Amendment) will not be the last"--Ira Glasser; sheaf of CLASSIFIED papers beginning and ending with LIED."
