‘T’ : Arnhem : 1988 

A wooden sculpture, built like a ship or a violin, that at first glance seems to be a bold version of a letter ‘T’. It rests precariously on a bowl, which in turn is placed on the edge of a stack of stones (the improbable balance is made possible by a large block of concrete in the overhanging section of the T-shape). However, when one walks around the sculpture all sense of imbalance disappears and the sculpture and the bowl it rests on form the flowing shape of a classic amphora.
