Emily Eveleth was thinking of inversion when she painted this work for the Fairfield University Art Museum exhibition Birds of the Northeast: Gulls to Great Auks. She wondered if there could be an image of a cardinal that might evoke humor and pathos, slapstick and vulnerability. An inversion of Maurizio Cattelan's well-known irreverent piece, La Nona Ora , stripped of its pretentions, but still sharing the characteristic of the comedy's foundation in the violent, the concerete, and the finite. The painting is a shift from the exalted and the expansive to the specific.
