About this work

This sketch shows two white box-like structures labeled *Volume 1* and *Volume 2*. One box has holes, measurements, and notes like *"white Formica"* and *"plexiglas."* The other is a simpler cube with a canvas inside. Around them are flat drawings of side and front views, also marked with sizes and materials like *"pedestal white Formica."* The artist wrote *"With Energy Beyond These Walls"* in the corner—maybe hinting at what these boxes could hold or do. The whole thing feels like a mix of instructions and imagination. If you like this kind of mix of art and design, check out Juan Downey.
