How does the work change when you treat the surrounding space as part of the artwork?

Begin with the image, then return to the label, material, scale, duration, and collection context. The work becomes clearer as these clues begin to connect.

Look With This Work

A fleeting action held in absurd balance

A dog freezes in a temporary gesture beside an old cabinet, while a steel structure seems to register the vibration of air. The work suspends an ordinary and absurd instant, turning time, balance, and movement into a theatrical sculptural scene.
