Remarks:
"These two works [Anna in Love (1987) and Anna Turning (1989) were both cast at the acclaimed Shidoni Foundry in Tesuque, New Mexico, as was another treatment of the female body he made a few years later, Woman With Puffed Sleeves (1992), which saw Harris once again pivot towards humor. Here, a pair of female breasts is minimized by a pair of outsized shoulders, presumably enhanced by the puffed sleeves of the title. That Harris chose to focus on the upper arms—typically a body part with far less sexual connotation than the breasts—he mischievously subverts preconceived notions of the erotic."
