Cleopatra's Heartline

Cleopatra's Heartline -- Oil, Serigraphy, Packing Tape on Aluminum, Mounted on Canvas; 40" x 54"
I was reading about Native American hunting rituals and discovered that in many tribes, when a bison was killed, the hunters would breathe into the animal to symbolize that their spirits were one. They valued the animal, since it provided food and clothing for the members of the tribe to live. I found that an interesting juxtaposition to Cleopatra poisoning Mark Antony with a kiss.
