Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
Sol Aris has not described the
colour pallette
of this carving.
Contrasts of light and shade
dominate
the
broad scope
of this image.
The
receding
curves
are
closed
in a glorious send-up of
constructive colour theory.
A central underlying meaning of this carving is the world of salt and pepper
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
the joy of the flying sperm whale and red wine to indicate a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
