The Ephesian Artemis - though the name is a piece of theft from Greece since the figure is more likely earth- goddess Ashtart than the boyish huntress of Greek myth. I'm not saying there's a link with my robot - I am not!!! but just ask yourself, who got there first?
There's a lovely photo of Louise Bourgeois standing in her street clothes covered in a vest with a tumult of latex bosoms cascading down the front. There's something about the way she wears the thing - casual, comical. She plays it straight. This one is marble, such a jumble of paradoxical form and meaning.
