Michael's Bound Boxes

Fifteen boxes are stacked haphazardly, tied together by a maze of thin rope. The boxes vary in size: 2 large, 5 medium, 8 small. The small ones can fit nothing larger than a coffee mug. They create an asymmetrical mass of squares and rectangles. On the outer edges, some boxes hover above the floor, suspended by the rope binding. Hooks rest on top of the boxes, attached to the ropes as if to be hung from the ceiling. This suspension undermines the sense of weight created by the mass of cardboard and the unknown contents of the unmarked packages.
