rupture. the plastic, thin and tense, begins to open its gaping mouth, quietly screaming its last regards. barking a commentary on what it was and will be, undergoing a mutation in form.

the sculpture cools and heats, translucence to transparency, heats and cools.

a child giggles, wriggling in her mother's arms, as the plastic transforms, mocking the form of dozens of animals and objects as it escapes its confines.

after an indeterminate range of time the sculpture collapses in on itself, congealing, coagulating, eventually reconstituting.
