'thief' and 'help' are ceiling-mounted copper pipes originally conceived for art fairs. Surrounded, even inundated, by art, a guilty or hapless viewer might look up…and see an accusation of thievery or a cry for help become visually manifest. Is it an hallucination? A trick played by a tired mind? Incidental and not immediately legible, 'thief' and 'help' aim to occupy, perceptually and literally, the fringes of mental space.
