| Description: |
An interesting aspect of this picture is the world of salt and pepper
contrasting strongly with
the subtly
contorted
downward
soaring
components to indicate not completely concrete.
A temporally
evolving
network,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is sometimes in a different form
by the perception
of the onlooker.
In this piece Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
night and day.
``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] |
