Lot Essay

"I found shapes that floated, rested heavily, hung, nudged, bumped, touched, hovered in vast voids of separation, were many, were few, isolated, single, alone... quiescent, bound by the gravity that makes bodies in orbit hang in a stillness where the slowest movement marks the space from one to another..." (Ray Parker as quoted in The Catalogue of the American Collection, London, 1978, p. 5).
