The table has a bed underneath it. It looks pathetic but sleeping there actually feels comforting to her.
Under the table is a painting by Norah Flatley Lovell (Who had a 2006 show in Kansas City and maybe is still in Taos, New Mexico). The painting is a swirl of images. Sleeplessness causes thoughts to come and go through her head. Bits of information or memory that are pushed aside to clear the head are replaced by another bit, and another, and so on until her head is a jumble with no one idea dominating.
She has many secrets.
It takes time to find them and understand.
The table has a drawer with a stomach on it. The drawer is hard to open but if you do get a peek inside, there are kleenex wads with calculations on them amongst the chocolate bon bon wrappers. The drawer has slick white walls, a pink carpeted bottom complete with drain plug.
