122 x 155 cm,(4 x 5 feet). Denis Brown, 1995
A biblical text is obscured behind oxidized copper sheeting, Two heavy electric cables cross the work diagonally from each corner, and splay into a tangle of wires above the text. The form recalls Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel scene of God passing the spark of life to Adam. The word TOXIC is spelt along the other diagonal, in letters bolted on, copper to copper.
