3. Two videocassette players, two 1 1/2-inch viewfinder monitors, hanging and coiled exposed wire and four glass lenses
Text excerpt from And Sat Down Beside Her:
This has always been it, a bewildering object in my path collecting more and more of whatever collecting tends to collect; when nothing clicks; when things just couple becoming twos instead of ones. And then it stops. Stops dead in its tracks. Backlogs. Rolls back on one of its many convoluted surfaces and sits there perfecting stillness. My gaze thickens before a black spherical object laden with dull silvery characters, symbols and numbers that, now and then, jolts forth and back, each time to rotate its discrete distance. The movement is quick, animated...like certain walking arachnids
