Red Line, 2011. 14" x 18". Acrylic and paper on canvas.
In architecture a 'red line' is a mark denoting something that needs to be changed. It points out an error in the drawing that the drafter must fix. In this depiction the white profile of a facade rises from the horizon. A gray skull is revealed beneath with the Red Line cutting a swath of bone away exposing brain material. A column in section is being thrust down into the mouth of the skull. Inside a desk is set ablaze. This is the final piece of the 'Battle of Corinth (146 BC)' series. It is the most violent, but continues the themes that came about after I was laid off.
