| Description: |
The here and now experience of
rolling sand and white wine in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion. ``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
