"a flayed, javelin-impaled, cable-delineated-pendentive-funnel-suspended, squid-like, priapic / labio-vulval, Janusian meta-portrait lozenge of the artist, screaming, and Matthew Barney, stoically becalmed, richly embossed, in a manner reminiscent of late-Renaissance Milanese parade armor, with a cornucopia of silhouetted motifs: Abrahamic ecclesiastical symbols, animals, decorative flourishes, and protuberant, warty, half-spheres, in variegated, exuberantly-colored, fractal-patterned, striped, spotted, semi-translucent, onyx from Baja California, with differing surface treatments keyed to the corresponding swag-draped corporeal flay strata: a glistening mucosal sheen for the splayed entrails, miniscule horizontal flutes for the mid-level viscera, and gnarled, rigid, sfumato-esque soft-focus ornamental relief for the epidermis with eyes and oral features gleaming, respectively, with a moist, lachrymal / salivary polish, with a mannered, attenuated, crown-like cranium-top shatter-burst exit-wound" - Graham Sergeant
