There’s a lot of sculptural activity outside of sculpture. Winter’s solace arrived today. Iron bark from Armidale surely can’t be sustainable, but those anxieties are luxuries for the time being.
The delivery here has been successfully executed. The tilted tray is an inevitable expression of that success. The scale of it in relation to my body size, the ‘tilt’ which is so stability averse, why is the clean emptiness so fulfilling? These aspects cannot be described more successfully than being ‘sculptural’.
Can we reasonably ascribe such a term to sculpture also, without offending sculpture’s scope?
Hopefully, yes we can. We may discuss sculpture simultaneously with its sculptural aspects and not inhibit its relevance.
To put it in a nutshell though, it is the verticality of the suspended hanging plate that establishes such a lasting relationship with the ground, fleeting as it is, was.
