| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of this sculpture is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
size and perception so clearly visible.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the prototype into
the world of images strong
in insight and emotive power.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the work into
the world of images rich
in insight and association.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
