Art in a State of Grace

Notes

'So, the image with the woman with the fish on her head was meant to represent an apolitical world — I'm sure her cat's-eyes glasses came from a David Goldblatt photograph, and maybe her face does too. The fish, instead of a hat — something absurd, something ridiculous, something to be eaten with her knives and forks — disappearing from the landscape'
