Description:	It is important to understand that the major feature of Shaker æsthetics is that it enables the viewer to define form in terms of area, rather than mass. The adorned figure belies the spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. A constantly changing glammerdummering, the essential identity of which is always the same, is sometimes transformed by the mere presence of the viewer. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the spectator of the carving into the world of epistemology of space and place. Sol Aris has not commented on the meaning of this prototype. It is useful to note that the idea behind Shaker æsthetics is that it enables the viewer to understand the composition in terms of area, rather than representational versimilitude. A central underlying meaning of the work is that it is the eternal or spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. Paradoxically, we see the short vertical line symbolising strength curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The shapes in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings... The dominant angularity and horizontality in this doodle, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind images strong in insight and emotive power... The piece shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
