DescriptionThe face of the canvas is turned toward the wall and the back of the frame is exposed. A mixed media construction featuring a silver bird rests in the center of the frame. This construction is typical of Boghosian’s inclination to utilize the frame as a fundamental component of a work’s overall composition.
