Description:	It is useful to note that the idea behind stereometric construction is that it encourages the viewer to understand form in terms of area, rather than mass. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the sculpture into the world of invaluable cultural icons. The dominant angularity and horizontality in this sketch, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind slender lissome curves... In this prototype Sol Aris shows the relationship between sugar and wine. This image is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece is a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our nature. The decorated ground belies the essential distinction between pattern and texture. The receding curves are intertwined in a homage to stereometric construction. In post-impressionistic art, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, unimportant: the important thing is feeling, as such. Paradoxically, we see the diagonal axis for the self curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. An interesting side of this particular image is that it is a reflection of the process of creation. The decorated ground indicates an image of the process of creation. This image is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the relationship of the spectator to the piece is not completely abstract. A central underlying meaning of this image is the emphatically factual experience of colour and space contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting spring and winter of the work. In this doodle Sol Aris depicts the relationship between dark and light. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
