| Description: |
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the essential identity
of which
is always the same,
is often unrecognizably altered
by the essential fact
of the onlooker.
Paradoxically,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
unreliability.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the carving into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
