DescriptionA large-scale circular fan-folded canvas painted with a spectrum of colors that can be worn to encircle the body or suspended as a hanging sculpture. Black radiating stripes enforce the fan-shape of the work. The back of the piece is painted white with black radiating stripes. Black circular wooden disks are applied to the exterior edge of the circle with copper tacks as connectors. On the back, these wooden discs are painted to match the corresponding color on the front. Three larger circular discs are attached on the ends of the fan, each with eight copper alloy tacks. Exhibition History
