The Internal Sea


This piece, 'The Internal Sea', (1996, limestone, pigment) was shown in the entrance alcove at Tate St. Ives during the residency exhibition in 1996. The artist said of the work that it

is a return to the metaphysical nature of being the physical self possessing infinite capacity for feeling and expression within the very specific limits of our bodily frame. The blue broken surface, suggesting an interior quite different to what is expected, at the same time itself such an obvious "surface" is full of paradox, irony and contradiction.
