Best known for her carved
wooden heads wrapped in black leather affixed with zippers, glass eyes, enamel noses, spikes and straps, Nancy Grossman (b. 1940) is accomplished in draftsmanship, assemblage, and relief sculpture as well as carvings.
The import of other artifacts is less obvious: a stuffed porcupine that sits on Freud's desk, beside a solitary pair of round - framed glasses; a
wooden Egyptian funerary boat, mounted fore and aft by bird
heads and carrying a small
wrapped mummy attended by three seated women; a row of stone knives laid upon a table; and a bearded goat
head made of clay.
