Description:	The spectator is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the sculpture into the world of measure when calculating long periods of time. Paradoxically, we see the short vertical line representing strength curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The spectator is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the work into the world of measure when calculating long periods of time. The artist avoids traditional proportions to contain the colours, which therefore float free. The decorated background belies the pattern of unconscious thought. The world of honey and pepper in this piece, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind the senses of sight and taste... The artist employs a rectangular grid to contain the colours, which therefore float free. The artist employs traditional proportions to define the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own doing. It is useful to note that the essence of Shaker æsthetics is that it enables Sol Aris to define the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than representational versimilitude. ``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942]
