wood is a combustible material that has been used to construct many possessions: forts, paper, musical instruments, among others. common perceptions of this substance can be disguised and detached from the root. there is a tendency to view the urban museum as indestructible, even though decomposition is inevitable for a spliced up tree. transformation may take years and change form several times before successfully eliminating source materials. what goes up may burn down. mairin deery's yule log, a stop-animated fireplace made of felt, projects a latent fire on the front of a kick drum, instigating a conflagration of the senses.
