Lot Essay

"They do kind of bridge both worlds; they are sculptures really, and they stand or whatever in the world of sculpture. They touch the floor, but they also touch the wall, which is more the realm of painting. So they literally partake in both worlds, both kinds of things." -- John McCracken
