Gorgon Rodeo (Autumn Shroud)
2001

A vibrant and colorful figure covered in textured, patterned fabric and faux fur stands against a white background. The figure's face is obscured by a shaggy, neon orange and green wig, and it wears a long-sleeve, knee-length dress with a zigzag pattern in a multitude of colors. The dress is adorned with fringe at the hem. Matching patterned leggings and shoes complete the ensemble, with one leg covered in long, flowing green fur. The overall effect is a playful and surreal blending of textures and bright colors.
