On Bluffton Univerity's website, I ran across a series of fascinating cloth sculptural pieces by Dorothea Tanning have figures organically draped over cloth furniture or appearing to emerge out of or retreat into cloth furniture: Tragic Table, Revelation at the End of the Month; and Sofa on A Rainy Day. I didn't know about this work. I'm particularly drawn to the extent to which the figures feel caught in a transformation, yet still separate from the transformation -- varying degrees of being on the furniture verses being part of the furnishing.
