Four nuclear warheads emerge from Neo-Georgian style house which is blown apart by the impact of the explosion. The house is surrounded by a high defensive wall with barbed wire and a large closed gate, and is set in an urban landscape, viewed over chimneys and rooftops. Two helicopters survey the skies. Drawing in impasto and painted in successive semi-transparent glazes of cool blues and ochres.
