Sister Envy
I grew up with a much taller brother, and since it was before the advent of the boyfriend jean, we couldn’t swap clothes. On the bright side, no hand me downs, either. But I used to wonder, if I’d had a sister, would we borrow each other’s shoes? This 1984 sculpture, by the Swiss artistic team of Peter Fischli and David Weiss, and currently at MOMA, is called The Three Sisters. I’ve been looking at it for hours, trying to figure out the name. Here’s a little six degrees of unmarried separation…. Chekhov wrote a play, Three Sisters, related to the Brontës, two of whom never married. Could there be a connection? What are your thoughts?
