Molly

MOLLY

Back in the teens I was taking part in a James Joyce group at the Irish consulate that gathered to read Ulysses. I created a little Joycean piece to mark the time. A little block bearing his glasses, pen and paper inscribed in his handwriting with the word Yes, inspired by Molly Blooms famous soliloquy, the longest sentence of the 20th century in which she says ‘yes’ 92 times. 
2022 was the centennial of his masterpiece and I created this piece for the event. I took all of Molly’s Yes’s and with 90 of my little blocks and the title, ‘Yes, I will Yes’, to make up the 92 times she utters Yes, her last word, the last word in the book.

Individual  ‘Yes’ pieces are available in the store.
