Ruler (1996-1999)
The meaning and function of a ruler are determined by the standardized scale it represents. By heating a ruler in an oven, I effect the deterioration of the plastic material and the graduated measurements on it. The ruler’s predetermined functions dictate my use of it but my action, subjecting its shape to alteration through heat, countermands its purpose.
