Rupture



Title: Rupture

Size: 6’7” X 1’6” X1’6”

Date: 11-2010

Materials: Steel, plastic, nerf, rubber, and

an ipod touch.


Description:

When the Doctor came out to update my Mother and Wife about my surgery He said, "When I cut into his spinal column, a piece of his disc the size of a gum-ball popped out. I thought his words were a telling metaphor for a ruptured disc. So I placed foam discs between each plastic vertebra, compressed. Between two of them, at the position of my surgery, a looped video of a bubble being blown till popped plays.
