Box and Pole comprises a box on the ground with a hundred foot pole jutting upwards to the sky, therefore symbolizing our position on earth[citation needed]. We are superior to some things (the box), yet inferior to others (God)[who?]. He is clearly a modern sculptor, but in works such as Sanctuary he uses primitive techniques to create his final work.
