| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
A perpetually
changing
evanescence,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is always in a different form
by the essential fact
of the onlooker.
``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] |
