'Scala Naturae (1994), was a straightfaced subversion of Aristotle's attempt to classify life according to a hierachical system. . . . The receding steps begin with man's creationsm, climbing past fungi, fruits and vegetables, corals, butterflies, and a stuffed cat and duck and concluding with a bust of the classical scholar.'
Text from Mark Dion, Liza Corrin, Miwon Know, Norman Bryson, Phaidon.
