The monumental work portrays a seated woman, face partially obscured by upraised arm, body bent forward. The image is taken from an engraving found in Gustave Dore&#8217;s illustrated version of Dante&#8217;s <em>Divine Comedy<\/em>. Constructed as a double silhouette, the figure&#8217;s details are &#8216;drawn&#8217; through the use of steel plugs, which fit into the 1\/2&#8243; apertures of the work&#8217;s perforated steel surface. Visible through the cage-like enclosure formed by the silhouettes is a full, three-dimensional, skeletal rendition of the figure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/myrhha_metaildetail_LR.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Myrrha\/P.I.A. detail\" width=\"750\" height=\"505\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/myrhha_metaildetail_LR.jpg 750w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/myrhha_metaildetail_LR-590x397.jpg 590w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/myrhha_metaildetail_LR-700x471.jpg 700w, https:\/\/melchin.org\/oeuvre\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/myrhha_metaildetail_LR-150x101.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1984 perforated steel, plugs, steel, wood, fiberglass 29 x 16 x 4 feet originally installed in Bryant Park, New York, NY created for the Public Art Fund A paradoxical work, containing contemporary and historical references to literature, art, and myth.
