| Description: |
The shapes in this sketch,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and boredom...
Paradoxically,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
An important part of this work is the emphatically factual experience of
size and perception
contrasting strongly with
the strongly
stretched
upward
reaching
articulations so clearly visible.
``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.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
