Lot Essay

"In Between (1993) a tongue-shaped shelf of butter, melting at the centre and freezing at the periphery. Arousing both desire and disgust, the sculpture holds in balance the extremes of heat and cold; like emotion, it's a continual process of change and flux." (S. Kent, 'Time Out', Sept. 1997, p.33)
