This sculpture is composed primarily of right angles and straight lines. The fact that it is a strongly geometric figure that has been covered in a uniform coat of black paint gives this sculpture the feeling that it is mechanical in nature. It has a very powerful presence, and though you cannot tell the size from the photograph you imagine that if you were to stand before it, it would tower over you.
I like that you have to look closely to see all of the detail that is in this piece. If you walked by it, you would not be able to catch everything in one glance. The uniform color makes it seem as though everything is supposed to go together, rather than being random objects the artist slapped together. I also like that despite its very structured appearance, it still seems fragile, as though some of the boxes have been stacked very precariously on top of the others.
