| Description: |
Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
The world of salt and pepper in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of area and
quintessential hereness...
The
adorned
background
belies
the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
The
decorated
figure
enriches
the eternal dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the sketch into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
closed
in a glorious send-up of
celebration.
``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] |
