"'Rock Breaks Scissors' (scissors cut paper, paper covers rock) extends the artist's long term program of meaningless constructio... 'Rock breaks Scissors' explores the imperatives and perils of creation - having nothing to trust but a method which is constantly revising itself. The object begins with an equilateral triangle and constructs on each of its edges alternating folding isosceles right and equilateral triangles, forming three arms.

Rock breaks Scissors measures 13" unfolded, 7" folded." - from the artist
