I have just realised – it should have been obvious –why didn’t I see this earlier – and all those other things that one thinks when something suddenly becomes clear. The shapes should be in the landscape! They are intrusions that exist1 within the landscape or even the gallery (maybe this is why I find it so hard to visualise them on a plinth) I seem to have been working towards this with the ‘Destruction of the Blue Box’ piece, it was an imposition (literally) in the landscape but an ineffectual one, which I liked. I knew that it was going to disintegrate (I’m not trying to make a point about the ineffectuality of man, unless it’s the ineffectuality of individual man – me being the nominal man)
