Description:	A central underlying meaning of this sculpture is the arena of contrasting sugar and wine contrasting strongly with the shapes of the drawing. Such forms, serene and powerful, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, empty: the important thing is feeling, as such. The carving shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. A temporally evolving glammerdümmering, the essential identity of which remains unchanged, is often in a different form by the understanding of the reviewer. The strongly curved downward flying elements of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but in a different form. The here and now experience of sugar and wine in this drawing, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind measure when calculating long periods of time... This sculpture is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the scale and openness to the piece is a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. ``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 owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114]
