At Mary Boone you exhibited three works; the
smaller room held two pristine examples of past work: Bridal Supernova (2006), one of the Exploding Couture series, which looks at first glance like a lotus blossom transforming into a
cumulus cloud, and Portable CatFight (2007), which encloses two cats, strung out from actual skeletons, that circle each other in mid-air with claws and fangs bared.
The physical model I have in mind for this negative WV feedback is based on a proposal of Prof. William Gray (Colorado State University), who pictured
cumulus clouds carrying moisture into the UT, but occupying only a
small area; the remaining (and much larger) area experiences descending air («subsidence»)-- hence drying.
