| Description: |
In this carving Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
Paradoxically,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
strength
undulate towards the centre of the sculpture,
suggesting
unreliability.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
