I agree that this isn't EVERYMAN's cup of tea, but I really enjoyed the stacked stryrofoam cups, the line of overlapping black sheets of construction paper... and my absolute favorite: the shinny rings of joined vent pipe elbows.

very smart piece when you consider the time it was created - that it was done when no one was there to witness it. Unlike the tree falling in the forest. I guess you didn't have to be there. Does that make any sense?
You ARE an engineer to appreciate (and identify) these things.
And, I should have said, that this is "conceptual art" like the art of Sol Lewitt, which we have discussed recently. It is the idea that counts. Just leave instructions for technicians to follow.
Ok, well maybe this reminds me somewhat of when I was a kid, and everyone had those plush bathrooms with white furry carpet on the floor and toilet lids. And the way, if you pitched the bathroom mirrors just right, you could see your own face, 10, 50, 100 times, until you seemed to fade out somewhere in infinity.
As a languages graduate this is a difficult concept for me...
