An architectural sculpture of a dwelling built into a rocky bluff. The structure is entirely suspended from the rock. It has several entrances (a door, a window and a cartoonish mouse hole) that seem to invite viewers in, but that all ultimately refuse scrutiny. The window reveals an interior too dim to surmise its dimensions or contents, the mousehole opens up to a pitch black chamber and the door cannot be opened, its knob has been removed. In its stead a pewter nipple peeps through the opening, leaving the dwelling impenetrable.
As the rock heats up from the sun, groundwater is forced from it and onto the surface of the structure, staining it with a sweat that condenses and evaporates throughout the day.
