DESIRE FOR THE OTHER
2004
This project was sculpted by Brian Goggin with Al
Honig and Tom Kennedy.
It is part of the San Jose Museum of Art permanent
collection.
It's a pandemonical moment, bounding off the floor, an
amiable enough, elongated, many legged, yet crapulous
couch wraps its craning ends bulbous pillows around
an under stuffed rather intellectual reading chair.
Not for osculation, but for silencing consumption. An
armor of orange upholstery stretches tight, seams
strained, over previously pillow-gummed furniture,
constrained inside the padded peptic tract but not yet
dissolved, a table, a television, a lamp, and a
telephone, thrust their extremities out, unlikely tent
poles making fabric braille, caught in the couches
duodenum. Black belly arching, red legs clambering, it
peers your way.
