Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
An important part of this work is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours so clearly visible.
Contrasts of dark and light
emphasise
the
emptiness
of the carving.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this prototype,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and hardship...
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this piece,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
A perpetually
changing
network,
the essential identity
of which
is always the same,
is always unrecognizably altered
by the perception
of the outer surface.
