Visual Description
You Keep Our Spirit Safe Between All Within the Day to Night is an unstretched painting made with oil, acrylic, enamel, acrylic dispersion, sewing on canvas, and wooden stretcher bar. The work is in vertical orientation, meaning that its shortest side runs parallel to the ground. Overall, the work measures a little over six feet tall and is exactly six feet wide.The painting resembles a woven tapestry, with multiple layers of canvas overlapping each other bound by a single stretcher bar that hangs horizontally on the wall. The foremost and shortest canvas layer has been left raw with fringed ends that extend the full length of the piece. Its tan-colored base is painted with black and red splatters that resemble blood, while its surface is covered in a uniform pattern of white crosses. Underneath this short canvas and slightly to the right, a longer piece of canvas is painted white with a uniform pattern of crosses that drip with black paint. Underneath this layer, two equally long pieces of canvas form the base of the piece. The corners of the fabric have been treated to appear as though they have tassels hanging from their ends. The piece on the left is covered in rough white and black stripes, and black paint splatters across its surface. While the piece on the right is painted black with a crudely drawn white zigzag pattern, with paint dripping from the zigzag patterns as if it were bleeding down the surface.
