The background or wall surface of the area is covered in blue-black colored mild steel panels.  Set out slightly from the paneled surface and occupying the majority of wall space are twenty-five rectangular low relief castings in bronze.  The castings depict feet, both bare and with shoes.  Across the top section of the wall is a shelf constructed of steel.  A series of small porcelain light fixtures with low watt clear incandescent bulbs are fixed to the underside of the shelf.  On the top side of the shelf is what appears to be a random collection of objects, some cast, some fabricated.

The twenty-five rectangular low relief castings of feet are the centerpieces of the work.  Twelve of these castings are pairs of bare feet, while twelve corresponding pairs are wearing shoes.  The twenty-fifth pair occupies the center space, while each set of bare and shoed feet are placed side by side, forming a grid.  The images are layered with metaphors, questions, and reminders of time and experience.  "You can tell a great deal about a person, Watson, by examining their shoes."   The activity of choosing the subjects and taking the molds was central to the life of the work.  The most difficult and important part of the project was choosing the right models.  Most are people the artist never met before; people for various diverse reasons that would help build a powerful image.

The lights under the shelf add an element of intimacy to the work when viewed up close.  The general area is will lit, so the lights are not so noticeable from a distance.  The choice of a dark background (the steel panels) highlights the delicacy of the lights.

The objects on the topside of the shelf are being stored rather than being displayed; they do not fill the space, but instead are clustered.  Included on the shelf are cast bronze models of the chair and mixing bowl used on each of the bold making sessions.
