A gray sky; a gray meadow; a gray world. Walking through the meadow is a dark figure carrying a very large portrait. Most of the figure is concealed behind the portrait, which shows a painted head in profile on a white canvas. The head has a cold, impersonal expression, and is rendered in broad, thick brushstrokes of red, gray, and black. Looking a little closer, one notices that the figure seems to be blended into the canvas, as though the head on the painting is the head of the figure carrying the painting. One of the figure's arms is dimly visible through the white canvas. The painting containing the painting—that is, the work you are looking at; the meta-painting, if you will—is signed "Chris Silverman".
