Eliza Blackwood's sculptures are rarely seen on street corners, mostly hidden in the deep crypts of museums. Blackwood suffers from acute anthropomorphia: when she sculpts, she creates life. For this reason, she only leaves her art to the finest curators and conservators. Her sculptures are so human-like that it is difficult not to empathize with their seemingly sophisticated mental states and characteristics. This particular work tells the intriguing story of two red pipes: one narrow cylinder and one broader rectangle, named Bob and Bill. Bill has a bullet hole wound just above his pelvis, with a rivulet of blood streaming down. He curves at difficult angles to stay upright against the wall.
