"Mini Scraper On Little Mesa" relates both formally and conceptually to "Small Skyscraper," the building/sculpture that was on view at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions from 1 May through 27 July 2003. The edition uses one of Burden's "Site-Possibility" drawings -- a series that depicts the small skyscraper in various locations on Burden's property in Topanga Canyon. The image of the building/mini scraper is embossed to lift it from the landscape. Printed in 4-color process, the interior of the mini scraper is green and blue and denotes the floor and glass respectively. The print is signed and numbered with finished edges and is ready to hang.
