This sculpture continues along two areas of interest, those of shared control, and action objects. Named for the resemblance of each object element with a baked treat this sculpture is at once game, drawing machine, concrete poetry devise and if you add a plaster wand, or a piece of chalk, a rudimentary computer system.

One person described the sculpture as my own unconscious desire to reproduce, sighting the “egg” circle filled with molecules, as well as pointing out the plaster wand that I held in my hand, which really did resemble a big sperm. There is something decidedly molecular about the elements, and when two or more people are playing with the system, the active reshuffling clearly displays some form of intentional information, even as it is wiped out with the next changes.

There in is one of the most interesting aspects of this piece for me. It can not be the same from time to time. If the system is being fulfilled as a sculpture, meaning it is being moved and changed and played with, then the end is never met, and the simple elements lend always to something new.

This image shows the system invaded by the sculpture of michael rees, and points further down a path towards shared control.
