Can you tell what the yellow object is? It is the top of a milk jug. The company gives 5 cents to your school for each jug cap, so I save them for my nephew. I have a glass canister on the counter I throw them in, and Mom likes to empty it out and play with them every once in a while. I'm surprised this is the first art installation I've seen using one.
I was standing at the sink when I saw Mom carefully balance the strainer in the cap. She must have seen me looking, because she asked, "Do you like that?" I heaped the praise on heavily, but casually tried to steer her away from it. I hesitated to run to the other room where my camera was, because I feared she would take it apart right away. I took my chances, and sprinted for the other room. As you can see, she hadn't moved anything yet.

Lovely!
this is one of my favorites of your mom's installations, yet.
it looks like what i imagine a SETI instrument would look like. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI
maybe you should hook her up with the seti@home folks.
This is one of my favorites too.
Your artistic vision is obviously inherited.
That is nice.
I hope you are saving images of this art - it is phenomenal!
I particularly love this one.
