A centipede rendered in fabric paint on linen captures Kiki Smith's signature blend of the natural and the visceral, presenting the many-legged creature with an intimate, handcrafted quality. The work's domestic material of linen contrasts with the unsettling nature of its subject, a tension Smith often explores in her examination of the body and the animal world. The artist's own painted wood frame extends her creative mark beyond the canvas itself, unifying the object as a wholly considered whole.
