Cuttings, 1961

Cuttings  are negative reliefs. The slices of saw-blade cuts made in a clear Perspex sheet are perceived as solid relief casting shadows on the back surface of the sheet, whereas the solid uncut area of the sheet is perceived as empty. The original concern of these early works was the interchangeability of opposites, i.e. that negative and positive were so close as to be indistinguishable.
