Law

Description of behavior....more.

Commissioned for a law library and reminiscent of a shrine, the sculpture, LAW (1994), is about the law's relationship of the physical word to human behavior.  It is comprised of a base surmounted by a chair, heart and sword under a canopy of keys and rubber stamps. The three feet square base is an assemblage of the accouterments of the legal profession, including not only books and phones but also jail bars, handcuffs, clocks and money. The presence of visitors activate a computer buried in the base.  Its monitor appears to be rummaging through documents, images, legal services and the Internet in pursuit of legal issues.
