Sienna NkrumahTonight
Strip by Strip
Halloween at the Calder Gallery, and one of the exhibits is breathing. Sienna Nkrumah has lain all evening on a plinth as a mummy queen three thousand years asleep, wound in linen she dyed with tea and tore by hand. The card beside her reads: whoever unwraps the queen must satisfy her before dawn. At closing one man is still there, and he has read the card. She chooses the order: hands first. Every strip he unwinds wakes one more hunger.
