The jumbo fly related to the Core theme, "Jumbo Shrimp". There is somewhat of a "gross" and hilarious feeling within the piece. It could be the yellow hue laid on top of the paper or the ideal of a giant dirty fly above a city. The city in the lower part of the piece has a dreary aspect within the charcoal wash. It is not Chicago but Nashville. Earlier this year, the city of Nashville flooded and killed 8 to 10 people. It destroyed a bit of interior space and other things. With that fact, the work may seem a little bit more in the anti-funny side. You can decide how you feel about the fly.
