Small Theory of Rock

Michael Challenger 1939

Summary

Angular, abstract sculpture of polished steel, which behaves as an interplay of mirrored planes. It comprises of a dominant, central upright, squared sheet of steel, with edges cut at an angle; towards the base, this smooth sheet of steel divides into two angled sections that slope in opposite directions that come to rest on a stepped, rectangular base. The work is displayed in a perspex case with a varnished wooden base.
