The Nutcracker Woman

Here’s a small picture of Jennifer Rubell’s sculpture series “Nutcrackers,” and there’s a lightly NSFW video of the nutcrackers in action after the jump.

More photos are here.

These nutcrackers are, like in the ballet, also a bit like a little girl’s dream come to life. They remind me of Suzanne. I think I already wrote about Suzanne. Suzanne was a mannequin that I got for Christmas one year because I wanted a big doll. She was really frightening in the end.

I wonder where Suzanne is now. I think my mother gave her to an art student when I was in college.
