| Description: |
Contrasts of donkey hair and salt
march across
the
expanse
of the image.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the image into
the world of epistemology of space and
quintessential hereness.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the carving into
the world of invaluable cultural relics.
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural relics...
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
closed
in a tribute to
misery.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
A temporally
changing
evanescence,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
remains unchanged,
is often transformed
by the perception
of the onlooker.
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
unreliability.
