'Can Hats Favor Fire? Can a Hat Aspire to Higher Things?', Varnish, Pigment and Graphite on Canvas, by Mark Gilmore, 2009.
The full frontal female figure is suspended in mid-air with both arms in motion, seemingly about to jump off the canvas. The blurred figure is set against a clear, graphic backdrop of reds, black and other dark tones with a turquoise rectangular box framing the torso of the figure. A simple black wooden frame frames the work.
