GASCOIGNE: Timber, Fabricate, Integral
The artwork described is ‘Rocky Road II’ by Rosaline Gascoigne created in 1996. This contemporary art piece is a sculpture with the dimensions of: h: 45 x w: 43 cm / h: 17.7 x w: 16.9 in. In order for Gascoigne to create this installation with such success, the unique sculpture had to be created out of swan soft drink crates on plywood. The installation is created to be viewed from all axes. As a whole the structure looks quite simple it’s only when viewed from close proximity that one can visualise the complexity of this artwork. The sculpture projects a powerful meaning, in that each piece is integral as if to say if a piece were to be removed it looks as if it would collapse. However when the pieces are comprised together the blocks of the sculpture can endure the tests of time. This is an interesting work as it highlights the contemporary period, breaking the boundaries of what art is considered to be. This abstract piece is so simple yet so complex, with precise configuration examplifying the fact that art can be anything.
