The Great Mystery That Surrounds Us, Marlene Siff, 2005, acrylic on linen, 99 x 102.7 in. / 251.46 x 260.85 cm.

"The Great Mystery That Surrounds Us" is a work comprised of two skewed overlapping canvases painted that create a sense of imbalance and movement, echoed in the circular painted forms, a frequent motif in Ms. Siff's oeuvre, that suggest rotation and even planetary forms that represent the cosmos.
