Traps - Triptych: 75 x 201 inches (190 x 502.5cm); 75 x 67 inches (190 x 167.5cm) each
 
Images of binding and trapping are integral to the Oresteia’s narrative; here, the Furies, avenging spirits of the dead, trap their victims in nets and Klytemnestra binds her husband Agamemnon into a red robe before killing him in revenge for the sacrifice of their daughter Iphigenia.
