Paso Doble
Acrylic Film Painting (48" x 36" across)
2003

The title means “Double Dance.”  The bright red color suggests passion.  Carrigan states that this work was inspired by "a dance in Spain where the man dominates, but a look at the signorina’s face might give him second thoughts."  Nevertheless the dazzling virtuosity of the lines suggests some form of ecstasy is being played out, and that wild but elegant passions are creating a small hurricane of motion.
