Argument #4

Argument #4 (a, b & c) were built between 1999 and 2006. The viewer enters the structure. The books are used to  create imagery. Argument #2 & #3 included a mechanical bird that would squawk down at the viewer. The viewer and bird stand with open mouth facing each other, both looking for nourishment. 16' to 18' feet tall, 4,000 to 16,000 books
