Description |
Earth, linen cloth, and wood, and recorded interviews; “ ‘My godson’s experience stimulated this piece. He’s grown up in Greenwich Village and one evening while out with his friends the police swooped down upon them. They were thrown against a fence, shoved and terrorized. Something that had happened in the subway. Talking with my godson, he told me, “the taller I get the more people become afraid of me. Why do women clutch their bags… they know me… they know my mother.” ’ ’’ (caption, p.85) |
