Catalogue Note
"That form [stalagmites/stalactites] seems a great way to reference a whole series of things simultaneously - as a geographical formation, it instantly implies the idea of a site, or a 'real' space. In addition, that dripping cave kind of things is such a hack, repeating motif from album cover art, especially post-psychedlia Heavy Metal albums. Also, there was always a kind of implied violence for me in using that form: wherever they have been used in my sculptures, they are effacing or defacing something." Banks Violette
