Exhibition text

More Arrow

Animals congregate in The Shed:

Communist pigs and neoliberal swine 

Assemble under one stainless steel roof

Called a shell.

 

To shed is to peel off outer layers: 

To make room for new appearances,

e x p a n d our usual membranes.

 

Paper, silk and chicken wire

Busy getting to know 

this fresh new skin.

 

Thank you Nina Beier, Lynda Benglis, Judith Bernstein, Alice Channer.
