Several months ago I contacted world renowned infra-red photographer Andy Frazer to discuss a collaboration involving Queztalcoatl. For some time I had been contemplating a fresh way to "see" Quetzy. Infra-red Quetzy n' Toilets is the end result.

Richard Stankiwicz explains to us dolts what a good sculpture should be.
"Things may be objectively present without having the affective power that we call "presence." The extraordinary object, the one with presence, is one which is subjectively and tyrannically there: it can no more be ignored than being stared at can. It seems to me that this charged quality of things is what a work must have to be sculpture and any technical means for achieving it is allowable."
(1959) Clearly, there is no more refined bullshit than that produced by art theorists. Nevertheless, Quetzalcoatl certainly qualifies under this broad definition. As would a wart on the end of your nose.

The Porta-Potties, are tyrannically "there." The toilets are poignant and acrid reminders of our tie to the earth, and our biological nature.
