Exposed circuits dangle from collapsing ceilings, shaky and insecure walls fail to provide shelter, unsteady floors threaten to collapse and cages offer perilous hope for escape.

This painting operates at the conjunction of abstraction and representation, furthering the artist’s investigations into the instabilities of compositional structure and architectural form as metaphors for fragile psychological states.
