Catalogue Essay
Please note that this work begins as a crate with the contents of the piece contained within. It begins unadorned with tape. Once opened, the sides of the crate become the table top and inner shelves. Once assembled it is decorated with tapes. When it is dismantled and packed up again, the tapes are removed.
