STATEMENT: Drop an ice cube in
a hot frying pan and it skips and jumps around like a duck with
its head cut off. What you've got there is water in all three phases
of matter at once. The ice cube is no happier about it than you
are. With a small vocabulary of shapes and forms, one can assemble
a suprisingly diverse group of characters. Three circles can stand
for a snowman for instance, or three duck heads or a cloud. It's
a monkey that might really be a squirrel or a dog dressed up to
look like a cat. Moving fast enough, a whale spouts, and it looks
more like a solid drop than the ethereal mass that we expect. If
you could move slow enough, you could watch the glass panes of your
windows dribble and drool onto the floor. Things change to fit their
own needs, and the form they take is not always the most obvious
one. I don't believe for a second that these smiling duck heads
have our best interests in mind and neither should you. Also, don't
you believe that those brown clouds floating in the background simply
represent benevolent puffs of smoke. They are something less rare
than that.
