Description: It is useful to note that the idea behind Shaker æsthetics is that it enables the artist to define form in terms of area, rather than representational versimilitude. The artist does not use a rectangular grid to define the colours, which thus float free.

Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the piece into the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.

The writhing curves are enjoined in a homage to misery.

``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''
[Robert Morris: Works of the Eighties, p.26., Edward F. Fry and Donald P. Kuspit]
