About this work

This painting features a large, cream-colored paper backdrop with multicolored crayon scribbles. A rope hangs from the ceiling, attached to a harness. The backdrop is slightly curved, and its edges are folded inward. In front of the backdrop, a circular area on the floor appears to be covered in crayon marks. To the left and right of the backdrop are two stacks of three monitors each. The monitors display a video of a person's legs and torso, with their arms raised above their head. The video is shown in color, with a mix of blue, red, and pink hues. The painting's use of mixed media and video elements creates a dynamic and immersive experience. For more information on the artist's use of video in her work, explore the art of Carolee Schneemann.
