In this work Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
the senses of sight and taste.
A central underlying meaning of the image is that it is a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
In this work Sol Aris depicts the relationship between spring and winter. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
