Liliane Lijn
In the Valley of Darkness   1973

107 x 81.5 x 45.5 cm

Stove-enamelled black aluminium base, chemi-blacked steel and optical glass prisms.

This is a work in a series of sculptures called Rites of Passage.

These sculptures were dramas celebrating the moments of passage between different states of consciousness. The earliest of them were encased or sealed in perspex cases to signify that they were closed worlds. The last two were left uncased.
