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

| Description: |
Contrasts of colour and space
emphasise
the
emptiness
of the sculpture.
Contrasts of dark and light
emphasise
the
broad scope
of the work.
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
