For a once venerated god to purportedly bestow upon us fire, he first had to fashion us from clay. The artist here similarly gives us something original to ponder in that oldest of substrata.

Assuming form as a double headed homo serpentes, there is a face off with unclear collective intent. Each twin mirrored in the other, projects strong lines from their respective eyes, noses and tongues finding resolution in that of their counterpart. The negative space in the upper half emerges as an upended thorned arch.

Two formations arranged on the wall seek upward mobility. The left-most is larger and more variegated with three shades employed. The tri-tonality suggests it might have grown phagocytically. Its partner to the right defers to a more nascent state perhaps awaiting assimilation.

The repeating curls reminisce on the Assyrian's beard. The dense grooved loops undulate like vinyl chocolate. Its a meld of heavy tactility and tapestry: like a grape-laden vine. The column-like forms deny exact symmetry but tell instead a story of strength and support.

At the top, the fabric comes to loosen passionately from the ordered warp and weft. Tendrils unfurl and we at last see Prometheus unbound.
