COMMENT
“The robe in The Sanctified is deliberately a pun, and the feet are quite brutal. The two lovers in the tessellated floor are the opposite of religious. So there are both sacred and profane implications. The two angels could be voyeurs, as well as angels. They’re certainly eavesdropping, or ‘eaveslooking.’”
—June Wayne, from Robert P. Conway, “A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne: The Art of Everything” Rutgers University Press, 2007.
