| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of this drawing is the impersonal forms and industrial colours
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality of the sculpture.
Contrasts of bare hands and honey march across the foreground of this carving. Of a sudden, we see the diagonal axis representing strength undulate towards the centre of the picture, suggesting unreliability. An interesting aspect of this image is the dominant angularity and horizontality contrasting strongly with the here and now experience of form and space of the image. ``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] |
