A woman with tentative footing stands in a tetrahedral crevice cut into the face of an enormous stone wall. With no good handhold, she extends to glance out at a track of rust stains in the textured concrete. Well out of arm's reach, the vertical lines run parallel, marked with empty pairs of holes and the occasion—often broken—rung made of bent rebar. A similar pattern, evidence of a ladder that used to run up the wall, extends down from where she stands, but from her vantage she doesn't see it. She wears a white shawl-like shift trimmed in blue that hangs to knee length on the front and down to her heels in the back. Cut in a triangular pattern, it is an obvious inversion of the nook she inhabits.

Figure detail from CHASM featuring a woman in white robes with blue trim. The hem is high enough to see her legs, with her feet placed uncertainly as she peers out of the shallow tetrahedral crevice cut into the stone facade. A pattern of holes in the concrete extend below here where the rungs of a ladder used to be set.

Detail from CHASM featuring a woman standing in a tetrahedral crevice cut into the face of an enormous stone facade. The sun cuts across the wall bathing her in light. There isn't room to comfortably stand, and she tentatively peers out at a twin trail of rusty vertical lines that streak down where a ladder used to be. A lighter trail extends directly below her, but the only run left there is bent and the rest are missing.
