A PLANT POTTED IN A PLASTIC HANGING BASKET IS NEGLECTED FOR THE DURATION OF A SUMMER. IN THE FALL THE PLASTIC BASKET IS SENT TO BE CAST IN BRONZE WHILE THE PLANT IS NURSED BACK TO HEALTH. UPON RECEIVING THE BRONZE BASKET, AN INDIVIDUAL RUBS THE HOOK OF THE BRONZE BASKET WITH HIS HAND UNTIL A PATINA IS ACHIEVED FROM THE TRANSFER OF OILS FROM HIS HAND. THE PLANT IS THEN RE-POTTED WITHIN IT.
