En Plein Air

studio table, glass bottle and motor

En Plein Air (1994) consists of a well-used white table with a glass Perrier bottle slowly spinning on its surface. This mechanical artwork is one of a series musing on decision-making. Air in an empty bottle, that once contained mineral water, revolving deliberately on a table – like a ouija board. But the bottle never stops spinning, or reaching its decision, caught in suspended animation.
