Eduardo Paolozzi was a collector of cuttings and scrapbooks. Two cuttings taken from the National Geographic Magazine and Time magazine showed photographs of a wooden head. Christened Mr. Cruikshank, it was constructed by scientists to simulate human bone and used to measure the penetration of X-rays into the human skull. This piece is concerned with the place of man in the technological age.
