colored (red and yellow) recycled fiber approximates the
first toss of such a game. When the Mikado sticks first hit
the ground I always felt they represented the confusion
of the universe. In the field against which these strips
are placed, the artist has painted particles that appear
to represent a vision of distant constellations. Is he
saying that in these recycled strips of plastic there is a
connection to the cosmos? String theorists who believe
that the entire universe is comprised of them would be
intrigued. These works are visually beautiful, they inspire
thought. It is clear that the artist wishes us to think about
structure here, there and beyond.
