| Description: |
This carving is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
shapes
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the work
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The shapes in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of space and
place...
Contrasts of the senses of sight and smell emphasise the emptiness of the carving. ``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.'' [Robert Morris: Works of the Eighties, p.26., Edward F. Fry and Donald P. Kuspit] |
