Untitled
1991

A sculpture featuring a small table with a pair of white, curved legs supporting a flat surface, on top of which sits a green cylindrical object with peeling paint. Mounted on the cylinder is a metal contraption with a wire loop and a hand-crank, resembling a simplified helicopter with a bone-like object at the top. The piece is displayed on a white pedestal against a light grey background.
