Raoul Hausmann, Untitled, 1931, Eyes fish, rods and cones, in silver round within round in a square box. Grey scaled snap shot rumination who masticates cached mash-ups through long winter nights. Star- struck with revelatory indictables, shadow blanket holds her, warm, until morning’s cold glare of dawn. Carrie is the host of The Sunday Muse.
