Grundstuck at first glance is an abstraction of a changing table. This piece is a lovely example of sculpture in the expanded field, due to its departure from the "monument." The monument inherently gives the sculpture a sitelessness, or homelessness. It can be transported. However, Grundstuck defies that principle in suggesting that it is part of a space. It also forces the viewer to have reservations about its uses. It transforms an everyday object associated with the labors of childcare into something beautiful.
