Edge
1992

A triptych of dark blue panels with a golden crescent at the bottom of each, representing a night sky with stars. The left panel has a caption "Come to the edge," he said. "They said, 'No, we can't. We are afraid.'" The middle panel continues with "Come to the edge," he said again. "They came." The right panel concludes with "He pushed them and they flew." The artwork has a white border with artist's signature and edition number at the bottom.
