This scene is anchored around an imitation of Carl Andre's "Lever" sculpture form factor. Here it is revised as a histogram made of compressed US currency bricks. This object is titled 'retirement' when shown stand-alone.
The advertisements and news from the paper for the date and locality of the installation are unfolded on the floor next to the money bricks.
Each wall is inscribed with a single word in graphite. Depending on your starting point, these read in sequence as
you/die/and/then,
and/then/you/die,
die/and/then/you, or
then/you/die/and.
One corner of the room is filled in with a triangular compression of fallen residue from the wall work. The opposite corner of the room contains a light blasting daylight-temperature light through a rectangular diffusion box.
The floor is painted with a whitewash made from smoothing and sanding the walls. Cleaning mops are used as brushes and displayed in the installation. This image of active and liquid form has dried, a ghostly suspension of creation or destruction suggestive of an ovum, omphalos, or enso (zen circle).

Installation. Requires four walls and a floor. Compressed bricks of shredded US currency, newspaper, graphite, mops, vinyl, detritus from processes of making
