Skirts and Pants, 2000 in the backyard terrace of Nancy Hoffman Gallery

Skirts and Pants (after Duchamp), 2000 Glass, wood 20 x 20 x 10 feet

This work deals with one of the seminal works of the 20th Century, Duchamp’s The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors Even (The Large Glass), and engages Duchamp’s attempt to reduce the figure to a flat image locked in glass. My approach was to take the opposite stand—to monumentalize the figures and to free them into a three-dimensional installation.
