The smaller central panel bears the large form of a bird, wings
outstretched as if gliding as a bird of prey, based on a child's drawing
of a seagull. Its rectangular shape, only ruptured by a beak- like
protuberance, contains traces of a seated figure adumbrated in the
gathering atmosphere of conspiracy which threatens to stifle the ambitions
of all Duffy's subjects. It is flanked by large, running figures clutching
onto miniature versions of the bird. Read across, the figures' lurching
motion mimics the rhythm of flight. |
