  Toy (Jumping Rabbit)
1998
Baltic birch plywood, aluminum, steel, nylon, vacuum-formed plastic, bismuth alloy metal, glass. Dimensions approximately 14 ft x 16 ft x 5 ft.  
 
  This piece is the first in a series of remotely controlled "toys." A helmet hanging above a trampoline implies the presence of a person who might operate this contraption. A cable from the helmet connects to a lever which, if activated, would cause a cast metal toy rabbit to jump up and down. The piece is presented "static," and without an operator.
