Gridded Pencil Drawing vs Glitterly Diamond Scull-Orozco at Tate Modern

It's funny to see toilet paper ready to spin on a fan hung from Tate Modern's high ceiling. Not only toilet papers, Orozco also uses simple everyday objects like rusted tins, burst tires, water melons and duct from tumble-driers to create elegant and lovable work.
In Tate Modern, you can even play with his objects, then you are confronted with a scull with graphite drawings on. Play and death are his big themes. A glitterly diamond encrusted scull is beautiful but with the added gridded pencil drawing one is somehow much more echoed to my heart.
