I’m a huge fan of Marcel Duchamp. He would have called it an ‘assisted readymade.’”
5 Box of Rings This shiny black wooden box was brought back from Vietnam by one of Freedman’s sisters. “As with so many of my possessions, its intrinsic value is minimal, but its sentimental meaning makes it priceless.”
6 Pretty in Pink These hot-pink molded-plastic high heels were made by designer Karim Rashid. “I saw them in a store window in the city and had to have them. They’re surprisingly comfortable, though probably not on a hot day.”

 


7 A Mother’s Pride This sculpture, made by Devin, is on temporary loan to his mother. One scene in Devin's film called for burning fake flowers. “This is the residue immobilized in Quick Water and encased in a Plexiglas box.” She says there are many more of “these bizarre, insane, outrageous objects” in her basement. “Devin wants to be a filmmaker but I call him a closet sculptor.”
