Levels of explosive methane gas were so high that officials turned off the pilot light in the basement's hot-water heater for fear that it could cause an explosion. The title of this piece is fully descriptive; nearly twenty battered and rusted hot-water heaters were precariously tied together with wire cable into a complex and top-heavy assemblage, the entire erratic melange capped by a raiment of large, heavy sheets of paper, seemingly carelessly strewn on top, which were covered in the glossy graphite residue of Rubins' obsessive and repetitive drawings.
