| Description: |
In this sculpture Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
brightness and shade.
Semiotically, we see the short vertical line representing strength curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
