Element of Surprise

Marcel Duchamp's With Hidden Noise utilizes similar elements of surprise and the unexpected actions of strangers that I'm hoping to reach in my own sculpture. Duchamp asked his friend to put an object in the already-made sculpture and bolt it shut. Duchamp himself never knew what was inside the sculpture.

Likewise the objects I receive are not dictated or directed by me. The psychological aspect of what people choose is just as interesting as the finished product.
