Ausgehend von Körperformen, wie sie von Tier-Präparatoren verwendet werden, entwickelt Bruce Nauman diese Formen. Zu den hier vorliegenden Blättern sagt er: "But with the new prints that I'm working on now, the forms have been reassembled. I had some forms cast in metal and when they came back from the foundry they were cut in pieces, I guess because it was easier to cast them that way. The casts were around the studio for a while, an then I started putting them back together in different ways - rearranging them into new shapes that become more abstract." (Interview von Christopher Cordes mit Bruce Nauman, in: Cordes/Tayler, Bruce Nauman, New York, 1989, S. 33).
