Lesley Dill’s dazzling Rush, originally part of her 2007 exhibition Tremendous World, is now on view at the Neuberger Museum of Art. This stunning piece is 18’ high x 53’ long, featuring a cornucopia of hundreds of black metal foil figures, human and animal, scrubbed to different shades of silver and backed by organza, all delicately sewn together with wire. Among the images is text by Kafka:
“The tremendous world I have inside my head. But how free myself and free it without being torn to pieces. And a thousand times rather be torn to pieces than retain it in me or bury it. That, indeed, is why I am here, that is quite clear to me..." Franz Kafka, Diaries
