altered rulers and hardware 

Flexible measure, 3 ruler stack)  incorporates three aluminum rulers at 1’, 2', and 3' lengths that have been polished and stacked on top of one another. They are hung in succession and reflect the viewer and space while oscillating between material objects and images. They bend space once activated while questioning notions of Cartesian measured units of space, logistic systems, labor, and use-value.
