In honor of Scarlett Johansson's recent London films "Match Point" and "Scoop," here is a link to an entry of Women's History Month, 2006, with a discussion of an exhibition of the works of artist Liza Lou at London's White Cube Gallery. That entry includes the following illustrations:
This work might aptly be
retitled "Brick Shithouse."

See also this morning's entry —
"She's a brick… house…
The lady's stacked
and that's a fact,
Ain't holdin' nothin' back."
— and last year's entry
on this date:
"Her wall is filled with pictures,
She gets 'em one by one."
The bricks and "white cube"
above and in this morning's entry
may be contrasted with the
bricks of Diamonds and Whirls
and the cube of On Beauty.
Poetic allusions such as these
may help provide
entertainment in the afterlife
for Beavis, Butt-Head, and
other inmates of Plato's Cave:
"The Garden of Eden is behind us
and there is no road back to innocence;
we can only go forward."
