“The City Speaks” by Jennifer Lockwood was completed in 1997. It is a view of the Chicago City Skyline as seen from Lake Michigan.

The original collage was pieced together by hand from words cut from magazines, menus, brochures, flyers and business cards from around Chicago. The work took five years—on and off—to create. Actual size is 24 X 36 inches, and it fits in a standard-size frame.
