This
was Murray's first freestanding sculpture, after years of making
paintings that seemed to be twisting themselves into space and
off of the wall. Murray was invited by the Stuart Collection
to concieve the work and she spent 1996 in her New York studio
making the sculpture. Murray chose to work with a favorite subject,
the shoe. Smooth on the outside, it is roughly finished in its
hull-like interior, hinting at worn leather as well as the enclosure
of a fort for children to explore. It is a fantasy shoe of the
greatest imagination, an inside out shoe that resonates of childhood
rhymes and tales. |
