The underside of Weights provides a good look at the way I constructed most of these objects, with a wood frame, lath, and plaster. You can see the plaster oozing between the lath, which is the whole point: the plaster folds itself around the edges of the lath and locks itself in place. At the end of the "tunnel" is an image of an old family photo showing painters working on ladders, probably on the house in Chicago that my grandmother lived in for a time. Somehow my uncle Wally, a youngster at the time, scrambled up the ladder to get into the picture.
The small black objects are fishing weights. The stairs have been worn down. The tiny openings with individual ledges seem possible to be inhabited.Dimensions
