I Wouldn’t Touch This Dress With a Ten Foot Pole – Framed

Amy’s cat stood in a box that was too small for him to sit down in. He desperately wanted to curl up in it so with all four of his feet crowed together and completely filling it, he splayed his front toes and  kneaded the floor of the box like he did as a kitten at his mommy’s side to magically get milk. He didn’t get milk or a bigger box but he did remind me of myself in a Goodwill changing room. I’ve been known to find a skirt or dress I’ve desperately wanted to get into. I insert all my feet and knead the floor hoping the skirt or dress will magically slip up over my hips.

The painting below is about the mildly odd clothes I wear and that my friends seem to enjoy….on me. I know if my strange things were the only clothes left in the city, and then my friends’ garments were attacked by a mob of moths and completely eaten my friends would probably wrap themselves in a bed sheet before they’d wear my clothes. They’d say, “I wouldn’t touch Nancy’s dress with a ten foot pole.”  nancymauerman.com
