Project built upon a harvest/sampling journey made at Sculpture Space, Utica (New York). The objects and photographs harvest was conducted following the 31 nods of the rectangular pattern on the city map. The sampling was made at each crossing of lines on the map: an object was taken on the site plus four pictures, one for each of the cardinal points. Each site is shown in a new position in/out of a reversible box that becomes both canvas and pedestal for the work.
