Eva was hier
(Eve was here) 1992,
30 x 40 x 10 cm.


A piece of cord painted in gradual shades of red to pink to white hangs from a pin, on a soft board, painted in gradual shades of green.
The words, ´Eva was hier´, are pencilled in at the bottom of the board. This work was a response to discovering the work of Eva Hesse and the realisation that there was art, a lot of it, being made now, not only by women, but art that went beyond the dictates of modernism. Eve had been and had left her mark in the garden.
