Exquisite Corpse
mixed media assemblage
The body is a door catch. The head is black/gold pottery. The tail is one of Lynn Morresey's dreadlocks.

| You know the game where one person draws a head, hides it in a fold of paper, and the next person draws the torso? You can do the same thing with words, and that's how the name for the game
arose: People playing the game with words, in French, ended up with "Le corps exquisite boit le vin nouveau". The exquisite corpse drinks the new wine. I've been making 'exquisite corpses' by finding or making body parts which go together. |
