Description
For each piece, along with a title, Logan has added elegant descriptions that expand the pieces and act as dynamic partners. An earth globe and a moon globe are both covered with porcupine quills. They hang apart from each other. Logan explains, “During the winter porcupines must huddle together for warmth. But the closer they get to each other the more their quills irritate one another.” So they pull away. This cycle continues. Then, Logan speaks of how Freud utilized this metaphor to explain the “attractive/repulsive qualities of love.” Finally, Logan weaves a tale about the incestuous relationship between the earth and the moon, with the sun acting as a vengeful parent. The parable’s dark ending explains how this doomed union would translate into total destruction, with gravitational theory delivering a final blow.More Info
