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 photographs. Lost Line, in contrast, is a continuously shifting form. Made of plasticine, 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)
