| Description: |
The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Contrasts of salt and pepper
dominate
the
emptiness
of this sketch.
The strangely
distorted
downward
soaring
components in this piece,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
``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] |
