| Description: |
A perpetually
changing
evanescence,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is often in a different form
by the perception
of the onlooker.
The here and now experience of
form and space in this piece,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of area and
place...
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
beribboned
ground
indicates
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
``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 owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
