A contingent structure: on Point and counterpoint, 2008

Point and counterpoint, 2008, juxtaposes the idea of a line that connects two points with a line that also serves as a point of tension between them.  The twine serves as an object that suspends a square on one end while tied to a rock on the other.  The twine works in tandem with gravity to suspend a square.

What distinguishes the structure suspending a square from the ground and vice versa?   They seem part of the same phenomena, i.e. part of the same contingency, as two counter-balanced objects with indistinguishable ends.  Structure uses the ground as its principle counter-balance to the extent that it denies clear delineation between itself and the ground.
