This photograph captures two walls, which meet in a corner toward the left edge, covered in a black graphite. The walls are divided into large rectangular planes, each of which is darkest at its edges and gradually becomes lighter toward the center, creating the illusion of a curving surface catching the light. A vast number of hand-drawn scribbles make up these forms. The two walls surround a staircase; a small portion of the second-story landing is visible on the right edge.

More than sixty aluminum canoes and rowboats connected to one another by a network of steel cables expand outward at varying angles from a steel supporting column, cantilevering dramatically to the right. This sculpture is shown installed in front of a large tree outside the museum’s entrance.
