Artwork Story

Exhibited Laguna Art Museum 1998-9 "Life Lessons: How Art Can Change Your Life"

Judith Spence

Read about this in the lecture (see Stories, What I Learned...). This talks to me about psychoanalysis, and actually about anything that requires hard, hard work that is not visible in the finished product. This remains one of our most loved works, even though the artist seems to have stopped making art.
