To: MIT. Love, B.
Pink Floyd
Atom Heart Mother
The original idea for this project (sketched here) involved making roughly 1,000 arms and covering all of Killian Court with them.
I'm so happy I finally came to my senses and realized how clearly impossible that would have been, seeing as
a) I only had 2 weeks to make the arms,
b) 1,000 arms would have required roughly 2 tons of plaster,
c) there are only 24 hours in a day and some of them should probably be spent sleeping,
and d) there were way too many problems popping up on this long arduous journey which I couldn't have forseen given my previous inexperience with public art.
Oh and these things called classes.
(Don't worry, mom! I'm passing all of them. And remember...pass/no-record!)

Awesome-ness. When you've gathered your energies (IAP, yes?) it's Candyland time!
Ancesters reaching out to help us... more reassuring, p;erhaps, but I'm still rather attached to my hell analogy.

Nice, Biyeun. Perhaps a subliminal comment on MIT students being buried under the load?

Absolutely Amazing Arms! After All, Aren't Absolutely All Arms Anatomically Exact?
