Kathy Weinberg integrates a traditionally carved frame into her painting. We see a mannequin of sorts holding its hat in hand, a gesture of humility amplified by the sight of the messenger's missing head. It's not a stretch to imagine that this is the oppressed messenger of an Overlord that resides deep in a dark mythical wood. The palette here is complimentary; acid yellow trees and lavender figurine creating vibratory daymare, complete with gnarly root, branch and flowing waters. Stiff and one with a furniture-like base we expect the messenger to shuffle back into the wood in stop-animation jerkiness leaving us to fill in the blanks.
