' There appears to be no hierarchy within this sculpture. . When the Landmasses First Appeared BRITISH CONTEMPORARY SCULPTURE Richard Deacon When the Landmasses First Appeared 1986 laminated wood and zinc-coated steel, L 750 cm British Oxygen Corporation British Oxygen and the Hat Hill Sculpture Foundation have collaborated in the restoration of this sculpture, and before it is returned to the BOC Headquarters at Windlesham in Surrey, it will be exhibited at Sculpture at Goodwood for two years. The fluid, wandering line of the wood contrasts with the rigid metal enclosure, both in form and in material character. Deacon has made the wood rich in texture, with glue like honey oozing between the laminates, whilst the cool, hard steel is static and remorseless. |
