A blockish form with an under-the-kitchen-sink, broken-air-conditioner or architectural-mishap quality, inhabits the space with us. This quadrupedal body, apparently heavy and precarious, evokes threat, the body and the everyday. The 'drawn-on' legs and yellow feet evoke one’s own body's relationship to the floor, and the road. Despite being hollow, thus perhaps waiting to relate, nonetheless it - to borrow Pope L.'s phrase - primarily "shows up to not show up," a position of resistance. The title points to either some evasive and opaque quality, or the possible concealment of a crime.
