Impermanence is a central aspect of much of Gabriel Orozco's art. Some of his works are made of objects found on the street, which the artist reconfigures and then records in still photo- graphs. Lost Line, in contrast, is a continuously shifting form. Made of platicine, a type of clay that cannot be baked, and interlayered with wound string, this sculpture—both repellant and alluring—will subtly change over time. (Ilona Katzew, 2008)
