Sculpture as Object
‘The generation of British artists that emerged in the 1980’s achieved international recognition for their new approaches the sculpture. Their work emphasized the construction of meaning through choice of materials and the ways in which those materials are manipulated. They explore forms and image, both literally and metaphorically. In different ways, the works examine the relationship between sculpture and the wider world, and between the object and each individual viewer.’ (Sculpture as object display; curated by Clarrie Wallis
Bob Law’s piece Is a Mind a Prison
Lead
‘Concrete’ poem has a preoccupation with with the physical and material dimensions of perception. This is key to Law’s work, combining minimalism, conceptual art, Zen Buddhism and carpentry.The poetic aspect of this piece resonated personally with me due to the fact words communicate so powerfully as they force the viewer to not only go closer but open their mind to the piece. Internal reading of the work allows Law entry to the audience's mind in a sense. This, to me, shows how the religious banknotes of the work relate. Spirituality is a deeply inner process, internalizing this works is an extension of such. I won't remove power from the work with written over analysis of the following caption.
