“Her eyes are extraordinarily pure and beautiful, but she has the cold quality of a mermaid. I am sure you would like her. She scares me to death.”

— Tennessee Williams, from a letter to Donald Windham c. July 1947 (via violentwavesofemotion)

Slumber was a performance/installation: whenever it was shown, the artist lived in the gallery, weaving during the day and sleeping with an EEG machine recording her Rapid Eye Movement (REM) at night. The REM is an analogue to Antoni’s dreams, and she weaves this pattern into the blanket that covers her bed while she sleeps. In this piece, an uneasy truce exists between contemporary medical technology, ancient myths of weaving and the mysterious world of dreams.
