A white page is mostly covered by a black and red art print. Below the print, text reads 

“Amazon by Karen Stimson
available on a notecard for $2 from Largesse, New Haven, CT 06534”

The print itself is a bold, opaque red asymmetrical rectangle. Over the rectangle is a faceless, solid black figure of a fat person situated vertically against the red. The right arm and leg are fully outstretched with a raised fist. The left arm and knee are bent at the joints. Breasts and belly hang low, and lines where the body creases are visible in red. The figure is floating in red space, but conveys a sense of grounding and power. Below the image the artist has signed their name “KWS ‘94”]
