Description: This striking piece is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the gently curved downward soaring components where the relationship of the viewer to the work is not completely abstract. The beribboned background enriches the eternal or spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. In this work Sol Aris depicts the relationship between dark and light. A constantly changing glammerdummering, the essential identity of which is always constant, is often entirely altered by the perception of the reviewer. The embellished ground indicates the pattern of unconscious thought. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line representing power and authority undulate towards the centre of the work, suggesting unreliability.

``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114]
