"inside-out"

Thinking of entropy I think of a process going from order to disorder or going from a state of obtainment to loss. A state of transition where something is is further removed from the comfortable state it was previously. The idea of Egyptian paste and the process of "burn out" intrigues me because it turns objects "inside-out" filling in once empty spaces and exposing enclosed ones. This state of "inside-out" and "outside-in" seems disorderly because it is the opposite of reality. In X Marks The Spot, Bruce Nauman and his casts of interstitial space explore the idea of distorting reality by creating material forms of formally empty spaces created by solid common objects. The idea of order through containment must be thought of differently as open and closed spaces are switched, redefining what is the apropriate and familiar way to look at objects. Would we recognize our world if empty and solid spaces were switched? It seems not.
