THE LESSON
1992 30cm X 34.5cm X 15cm   Mixed-media construction.

The text on the concertina mirror panels reads:

It is not a dream
A giant blue bird appears
And follows Augustine everywhere


The bird sits in the bathtub with Augustine. She says:
What is the meaning of this?
The bird replies:
You are forgetting to be amazed.

A tiny crystal ball sits on a ledge behind a gold frame. Looking through the frame you can read this message:
Don't forget.

A tiny book of the bird's thoughts lies on the bathroom floor.

 

Augustine is my cartoon alter ego. See comics and Blaugustine and also this video.
