Untitled (The Spike Buck)
1995

A CRT television displaying colorful imagery is placed on a simple wooden tabletop, which is supported by two sawhorses. Below the table, two black speakers are positioned on the floor, connected by cables to the television. The setup is against a plain gray background, suggesting an art installation or minimalist presentation.
