| Description: |
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
is always constant,
is sometimes irrefutably altered
by the essential fact
of the environment.
A notable feature of this work is the arena of contrasting colour and space
contrasting strongly with
the shapes so clearly visible.
The
embellished
background
belies
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
``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] |
