Boezem’s Letto d'Amore (1986), “the bed of love”, consists of a kapok mattress with a thin layer of white paint applied to it. The buttons of the mattress are connected diagonally with pencil lines, giving rise to a pattern suggesting cross vaulting. In the hollows which are caused by the tufting lie eggs. This intervention calls up an analogy between a bird's nest and a bed. The resilient mattress has something in the way of the ground plan of a Gothic cathedral. The suggestion of the flight of birds lends a sculptural quality to the rather flat sculpture.
