TITLE: Xerox Drawing No.4
MATERIALS: Solar battery charger, Xerox machine, flashlight
DATE: 2003

DESCRIPTION
A solar cell powered battery charger will be photocopied as many times as it takes to charge two AA NiCads. The by-product of this self-serving process (the number of 8 1/2 by 11" photocopies it takes to charge the batteries} will be arranged on the walls of a dark room, visible only via a flashlight powered by the charged batteries. Driven by a graceful exchange of light energy, the piece examines energy conservation from an absurd angle. The by-product becomes the gallery object, rounding out a system which is simultaneously self-serving and self-defeating.
