This interactive bench installation allows visitors to sit and peruse the legal file cabinet to examine and fondle drawings and objects, while playing with the plasteline clay. The file drawers are my deceased father’s legal cabinet, with plasteline sculpture, drawings. The covers of CT scanner motors serve as the benches. Yugo (Yoke) references past art projects, personal history and addresses my 2017 Stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
