| Description: |
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Semiotically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
