This pencil is not a normal pencil. While it does have a graphite tip, the body is made of 46cm of solid aluminum rod. One can technically write with it, but the appearance and feel of the pencil is surreal and impractical. This piece creates a novel experience of an everyday task while asking to what extent appearance and function define an object.
