COMMENT
"The joke here is that the higher you climb, the more your ass shows, and the more difficult the climb becomes. The smaller interstices are down at the bottom, and become larger as you go up. Also it shifts from two to three dimensions. So it's full of changing cues.”
—June Wayne, from Robert P. Conway, “A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne: The Art of Everything” Rutgers University Press, 2007.
