Matthew Barney, stoically becalmed, richly embossed, in a manner reminiscent of late-Renaissance Milanese parade armor,with a cornucopia of silhouetted motifs: Abrahamic ecclesiastical symbols, animals, decorative flourishes, and protuberant, warty, half-spheres, in variegated, exuberantly-colored, fractal-patterned, striped, spotted, semi-translucent, onyx from Baja California, with differing surface treatments keyed to the corresponding swag-draped corporeal flay strata: a glistening mucosal sheen for the splayed entrails, miniscule horizontal

ornamental relief for the epidermis, with eyes and oral features gleaming, respectively, with a moist, lachrymal / salivary polish, with a mannered, attenuated, crown-like cranium-top shatter-burst exit-wound
