EXHIBITION CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER, BC, CA. 1998.

Dimensions: 30” x 30” x 4”.
“Gate of Hell” Dimensions: 10’ x 5” x 5.5”
“Coffin” Dimensions: 6’5” x 3’ x 6”
Materials: All the parts—the zipper, ashes, coffin, eyes, flame, door—form a collection of symbols, entwined in the fabrication of myths that organize our desires and fears.
