for Louise Bourgeois

Rest in peace while still alive.

Dialectic in the brawn,

Absence fully present.

(What is the sculpture
Of truancy? Not watered
Down, sewn with
Cents; lucrative pyre:

"Seduce. Hide. Be Loved.")

Fillament is both
Beginning and end. Thread

Connects end-to-end

Tiny fire in the
Middle...

Rest in peace while still alive.

Wonderful article about this woman's new work in this months' "Sculpture" magazine. Interesting (pre-gender, her word) dolls sewn from her own discarded clothing, enclosed in glass and steel cases. Nice work. Hopeless yet focused; distinct yet shapeless.

Still going strong well into her 90's.

A living, modern master.
