This painting is from a multimedia series populated with 18th century beds, in particular baldequins and lits à la Polonaise, their armatures cloaked or exposed. The beds evoke rooms that more intimately relate to the scale of the body. The canopies create a protected space designed to harbor safe passage to the kingdom of the subconscious. Ladders and circles regularly appear in her work. Here, the ladder descends into the abyss and circles are connected by ladder rungs to create turbines. This image is mixed media on paper with antique silk velvet and damask.
