In the corner of a white walled studio with a plywood floor, a 6 foot yellow ladder stands at center, surrounded with various taped prints and papers hanging from the wall. Above the ladder in the corner are the words “sacred violence” mirrored above and to the side , wrapping around the corner. To the left is a black square with a large circle cut in center, and a blue circle within that like a bullseye, with a wooden dowel leaning against the center. To the right is a large print of a close up of a fragment of a page with cut-off text reading “extraordina evil”.
