Untitled (Perpetual Plaque) — 2026. ~13”x13”x6”. Walnut, brass, clock movement, foil chocolate wrapper
Untitled (Perpetual Plaque) is comprised of a large walnut trophy base completely covered in black brass plaques. From the center of the trophy base, a foil chocolate wrapper reads: You can’t hit a home run without a big swing! Attached to a clock movement inside the trophy base, the wrapper ticks around in an endless circle, one revolution per minute.
A perpetual plaque is an industry term that refers to larger plaques and trophies affiliated with an institution that regularly competes in a specific contest, like a high school football team. These plaques mark both the legacy of their success and imply the potential of their futures. The more room for plaques, the more expectation rides on filling them!
