vanessa german, The Body of Desire, 2021

vanessa german

The Body of Desire, 2021
Everywhere, lust, red, red, red, red, red, red in the body, red in the hands, red in the Soul, come and get it, orange bone beads, blue glove, blue beaded rhinestone trim for how the Soul rises up within the body, for how Ntozake Shange said, “wanting to be wanted,”, love, love, love, love for big thick hips, love for the labor of desire, love for the shape of everything just as it is, an acceptance song, astroturf, wood, adhesive, wire, cloth with sequins, red yarn, the yes coming right in to say yes.
