| Description: |
This carving is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the essential identity to the piece
is
a reflection of the process of creation.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the work into
the world of epistemology of area and
place.
``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] |
