"Mini-Nike"

Set in acrylic box, H 8" x W 8" x W 2" (2001)

(Fabrics, threads, film strips; heat transfers, painting, assemblage)

The front side shows the ancient Greek bas-relief "Nike Tying Her Sandal". The back side shows a pair of every-day athletic shoes. The juxtaposition suggests incidentally the permanence of Classical art.
