Three red silhouettes, a common theme in earlier works, sit behind a multitude of red and green layers. This first piece in the Bare Consciousness series represents a strong departure from prior paintings and a new direction toward complete abstraction, wherein the artist begins to utilize stylistic strokes that will carry forward into all her compositions. The prominent green forefront reminiscent of buoyant flames create a sense of a funeral pyre, burning all that came before and making way for the new. An upper smudge of brown creates a stout bridge to the heavens, an offering like a smoke signal toward what is to come.
