this is a piece that i just finished or at least think have temporarily finished. it is a torso in what is the leftovers of a chair which is inscribed with the first two lines of a poem by else lasker-schuler, a german expressionist poet. it says basically: behind my eyes stand tears, those i must all cry ( hinter meinen Augen stehen Tranen, die muss ich alle weinen). initially this piece was that of a woman sitting in a chair. then she lost her head ( i cut it off) and the width of the piece because narrower and narrower. in the end i like the piece, because its narrowness suits it and also matches the precariousness in lasker-schuler's life.
