| Description: |
The
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than odour.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the carving into
the world of invaluable cultural relics.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
