I’m trying to put myself back into the mental place I inhabited when I made the sculpture, “the portrait,” as I called it then, of Anne d’Harnoncourt. It was the early nineties; I was studying figure sculpture under the late Walter Erlebacher at the University of the Arts, and just beginning to know the ways of the city. I am happy thinking about this time. The art world as I remember it had not yet been thinned out by AIDS, and there seemed to be a vulnerable establishment to push against. There was something to be proved by being an artist. I am surely not living in that time anymore, and I think that’s why my tears surprised me when a friend wrote me that Anne d’Harnoncourt had died.
I believe this pertains to our current working assignment because of Doering's extreme emotional connection to her work- which is something that we as art students are currently trying to obtain. She has taken this tragedy and worked it so as to exemplify it through her art work.

I like the circle of men or animals. It looks as if their dancing. Nice piece of research!
