I lay still as the\nmistress weeps. We are one: she lets her weight fall onto me. Sinking deeper\ninto my grasp, her spine arches like a bow. Gazing down, she obscures her face\nwith a parasol. She has snatched her lover from my embrace. She leans on my\nside, cloak weaving through my sheets, and he watches from above me. Flesh and\nclay breathe an alarming amount of unrest, my exterior churning like the sea\nbefore a storm. My skin wrinkles, bearing the marks of lives lived on my body.\nI wait for the violence of bodies to carve my sheets into landscapes that last\nlong after the bodies have left me. I am laden with death and hot with sleep;\nthe light chills me through a glass. She cannot hear the light but I can.

This photograph shows her friend and collaborator Leonora Carrington, whose work is on view nearby, obscured beneath a black mantilla, a traditional lace shawl worn by women in Spain and Mexico on religious occasions and while in mourning. The white mask propped on the pillows of the empty bed recalls the tradition of the death mask, in which an imprint of the face of the deceased is made as a memento. The mask and Carrington’s shadowy form under the shawl suggest an absent body, conjuring a sense of loss.","remarks":"PBL Rotation January 2020"}],"datebegin":1962,"sortnumber":"2018 43","published_date":"2026-03-31 03:28:42.093504","objectid":134436,"dimensions":"20.8 × 20.1 cm (8 3/16 × 7 15/16 in.)\r\nmat: 50.8 × 40.6 cm (20 × 16 in.)","on_view":false}
