Work Description:
|
A glowing yellow cross-section of a ship hull floats amidst a deep maroon field of color. It hangs via two red pulleys, which dangle from a black crane reaching into the scene from the right edge of the canvas. The ship hull is silhouetted against the background in a way that recalls Georgia O'Keeffe's floating elk skulls.
