In the classical myth, Diana and her two disciples are also virgins, cut off from man , though the artist extends the concept to the landscape, too. As with Barney’s past cinematic projects, “Redoubt” serves as the centerpiece of a larger body of work, which included a pair of massive metallic tree trunks, propped up at strange angles.
