- Looking
at this work on screen, it might be difficult to determine
the fly’s size. Thinking about it in relation to the cube,
how big do you think the fly is?
The
fly is the same size as an actual housefly and the cube
is about 2 x 2 x 2 feet.
- Do
you think this looks like a sculpture of a fly on an oversized
pedestal or platform, or a sculpture of a white cube that
a fly has landed on?
