“While staying in 1973 at Jacques Leenhardt's apartment in the Marais I bought this box at a brocanteur. An artist friend in New York, Leonore Taunney, had done a series of many objects which she would intervene, touch up or alter in one way or another, I began making many boxes/objects with my mind. Three Long Moments is the first of the several boxes that I made. Inside of it are pencil drawings of female and male sex organs twined around with a necklace of dried rose buds. The perfume of the roses continues.”
