| Description: |
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
is always constant,
is often irrefutably altered
by the perception
of the viewer.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the work into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and hardship.
Contrasts of salt and pepper
emphasise
the
emptiness
of the sculpture.
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The here and now experience of
form and space in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural relics...
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
