Fallen Man Under Christ (Primary Title)
Mikki Ferrill, American, born 1937 (Artist)
Throughout her career Ferrill has focused on elements of performance in widely disparate contexts, from dance clubs to religious services. In 2017.196-198, Ferrill conveys the spiritual state of the subjects by emphasizing the position of their arms and hands. Fallen Man features a person lying on a sidewalk, dejected, hands covering his face, and perhaps unaware that a mural of Christ with outstretched arms hovers above him.
