description

Location: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.

This is a photo of a sewing machine, covered with a blanket and bandaged with a rope. The work is the artist’s interpretation of the quotation of poet Isidore Ducasse “Beauty is the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table”.
