Designed for a law library, courthouse or other legal setting and
reminiscent of a
shrine, the sculpture, LAW (1994), is about the law's relationship of
the physical word to human behavior. It comprises a base
surmounted by a chair, heart and sword under
a canopy of keys and rubber stamps. The three feet square base is an
assemblage
of the accoutrements of the legal profession, including not only books
and phones but also jail bars, handcuffs, clocks and money.The presence of visitors activate a computer buried in the base. Its monitor appears to be rummaging through documents, images, legal services and the Internet in pursuit of legal issues.
