This piece evokes so much more for me. First, considering it is a signed receptacle of water with a drain, it may be a homage to Marcel Duchamp’s urinal (Oh knowledgeable blog mistress, please find a photo of the infamous urinal, 1917, and paste in—I’d be happy to discuss with any of your readers how important this piece is in the history of art—or perhaps you will find it worthy of discussion yourself). That of course leads me to another association of the amber hue the artist has evoked (perhaps just an incising of metal, or is this actually paint)? The savvy reader should be able to connect those previous too sentences without forcing me to be explicit. And if the in-situ viewer makes such an association, will they feel debased? Unable to replenish their spirit? Perhaps it is I who am debased. I suppose I should have started with some high-brow hieroglyphic interpretation. Too late, I am found out, like Nabokov with Lolita.
