I was ten when the Womanhouse went up. My brother’s girlfriend, Ann Mills, painted the leaves for the dining room. I loved that place. I wanted to live there. Since Ann was working on it, I got to visit many times. I was so sad when it was time to take it down, sell off the parts, and tear down the house.
I would love to see more color pictures like this of the installations. I remember it all vividly. My parents had a copy of the catalog, but it’s been lost long since. I think my favorite was the woman made of sand in the bathtub, maybe because it was so ephemeral. It horrified me that people touched it. By the end, she was eroding.
