Legs Icon (Swarm)

75″x40″x13″
Pigment, oil, skin glue on curved panel
2008

1 of 4 large Legs Icon pieces. 1 of 2 that are painted on both sides.

Both sides have a swarming feel to me. The inside form feels human and atavistic, the outside form feels like a nest. The gold brush strokes are 24kt gold flakes ground and mixed with walnut oil to make paint.
