Caryatids in Five Books
Sculptures of stone
and women of flesh
in words and pictures
literally
metaphorically
imprinted and poised
on fragile shelves or
precarious pedestals.

This installation consists of five books, cast in Hydrostone. In some installations they lie on
a shelf edged with acanthus
molding; in others they are
positioned on pedestals topped
with corinthian capitals. Printed on
the surfaces of each book are photographic images of caryatids accompanied by verses from a
poem by Romanian poet,
Photographs are by both Blaise Tobia and me.
