Bachelor On and Off responds to a curious situation centering around Don Simmons' work, Bachelor Forever (pictured right): a ball of iron filings that moves up and down the wall. Because this work's motor is quite loud, Blackwood Gallery decided not to allow it to run constantly. Docents were asked to turn the work on for a short time for each visitor. My switch simply takes it a step further, putting control in the spectator's hands.
