Notes

"I was not yet doing animations, but in animation you essentially give people extra limbs in different positions. This image recalls the Italian Futurist Giacomo Balla [1871-1958] and his fantastic painting of a woman leading a many-legged dog on a leash. In my image, all the different positions of the woman's legs are like frames in an animation. Even the cat has alternate positions for its claws. Some would have been burnished out if they were wrong, or stopped out to leave only a faint trace. The shopping trolley was a graphic, angular shape and it carried all the social implications and associations of a shopping trolley." - William Kentridge in Siebrits, W (2021) William Kentridge: Domestic Scenes, Göttingen: Steidl, page 29.
