Iron Window
Dreamed by Jim Shaw between 1987 & Jan. 1995.
Some professor-types with white beards and black coats approach a door with a 3-D wrought-iron woman's torso for a window and loudly implore what they hope will be a nude model to come down and fill up the silhouette so they can touch her skin through the bars.
--Jim Shaw
EDITOR'S NOTE
This is just the fourth dreamlet of five that night--thought what night, or even what year, isn't sure. 1990, give or take a few years; but as an image it still seems (sadly) current. I worked in a big unversity, and this is still a perfect image of male academics' iron barring of messy ol' sex/women/flesh/life...
