Description:	This striking piece is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the world of the senses of sight and taste where the scale and openness to the painting is a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. Sol Aris has not described the title of this carving. A particularly contentious aspect of this doodle is the shapes contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality of the sketch. An important part of the work is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. A perpetually changing evanescence, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which is always the same, is often in a different form by the perception of the outer surface. Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line representing the self curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The viewer is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the image into the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work. ``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942]
