I’ve lately made a point of leaving the conceptual explanation duties to the works themselves. I will say this much, I trust reality less and less these days. Physics formulations and a diagram relating to the double slit experiment, which scientifically challenges the nature or reality, are engraved into the iron.  Black, Bakelite, antique electronic test equipment (instruments for testing reality) have morphed into a crystalline formation and the scarred tusk of some surreal beast juts through the base of the piece.
