  • The image features bold lines and splatters, creating an abstract scene across two distinct panels. Large heart shapes dominate the upper central space in both panels. Below the hearts, familiar objects such as a spoon, a paintbrush, various tools including wrenches and pliers, and other unidentifiable shapes emerge from the intricately textured background. These objects are integrated within swirling lines, dots, and blotches in the piece.

  • This sculpture is made up of about three dozen shovels, axes, pitchforks, hammers, scissors, saws, wrenches, and other tools arranged across a narrow wooden platform, which supports a free-standing, dark gray gate. The gate form is created by two black poles at the center and one on each narrow end to make two wide doors. Flat metal strips curve in long, shallow, horizontal S-shapes across the top of each door. Widely spaced wire grids extend from the central poles, about halfway across each door. Two thin trunks or branches of white birch trees stand behind the wire, one to each side. The handles of the tools create mostly vertical lines across the gates. The tools lie or sit on the platform, or lean against the gates. A few, including shears, hand drills, and calipers are affixed to the central posts or wire. A few objects stand out. At the leftmost edge of the platform, a propeller leans against the left-hand post. One shovel near the propeller and another near the right end of the platform have been cut across their blades, so they rest flat on the platform, as if thrust into dirt ground. A heart-shaped piece of sheet metal sits behind the gate, to our left. It comes just over halfway up the full-sized shovel in front of it, and is red on the left half and streaked with brown and black on the right half. The handles of a few of the tools project outward, toward us, including a pickaxe and pliers near the middle. The room in which this sculpture stands has a white wall and a wood floor, with the narrow planks laid diagonally to create radiating Vs.
