This is an image of 'Intervention Under Sink in Painting Bays I'. It is an almost invisible work, consisting of a length of canvas thread installed under a sink and poured repeatedly with Lukas IV oil medium. The work has a tension within it; it looks as if it could have been formed from the sink, yet if the viewer looks closer it becomes apparent this is improbable, and it has been installed.
As the reader can see the work is almost imperceptible. I do not know how many people, if any, have seen the work without being told it is there. This does not bother me however, I like the notion of rewarding anyone who does notice it, yet simultaneously I like the idea it is a secret work. To me it seems more of an intervention, and gives the work a parasitic feel if it is unseen.
