Betty, Me, Marcelle is a floor sculpture with the dimensions of a queen-sized bed. The mattress portion is covered with white fabric, pulled into a central point. The hole is filled with 22 gallons of still water.
This piece is named for my late grandmother Betty, and the fictional character Marcelle from the novel Story of the Eye, who is often accompanied in the book by the symbolic image of a soaked bedsheet.
