This piece is a characterization of having nothing interesting to say or having said too much. The mouth area is stuffed with soft candy like protrusions, as well as fluid strands of beads. It is outfitted with silk bloomers, a PVC halter, and embroidered with felt badges. The long legs are punctured with gold spikes. The sculpture sits on a salvaged “time out chair” from the 1960s.
