This work is from a series that produce video facsimiles of major art works that are relatively inaccessible, were ephemeral or have been destroyed and are known primarily via mediated imagery.

In this case a depiction of a view of "Surrounded Islands" by Jeanne-Claude and Christo is created by the sculpture. The sculpture is built from household cleaning and organizational items. I would imagine that the amazing scale and success of the works of Jeanne-Claude and Christo have required a very high level of organizational skill and a tidy and organized workplace.
