Note: The piece centers around the object of a McCulloch 3-25, the first commercially-produced one-person chainsaw. The original object is hanging, encased in cactus. To the right is a cardboard replica of the chainsaw, which has been filled with glue and crushed. All of the excess material produced throughout the production of the work is encased in concrete in the glass vitrine.
