ROELOF Louw. The pyramid (5 ft 6 in sq x 5 ft
high) was built from about 5,800 oranges.
Everyone who entered the gallery was invited
to help himself to the oranges. The sculpture
lasted for two weeks.
One aspect of the sculpture was the use of
material 'on its own terms' to create an
`affective' situation. Another, was that it
should relate to a specific place and the people
that go there.

ROGER FAGIN. I find that the decisions I
make are based increasingly on traditionally
non-sculptural criteria. The way I choose to
relate elements together comes from a direct
confrontation with materials — consequently
the concern with structure rather than
aesthetic relationships, and with physical
rather than exclusively visual presence. I
want the work's existence to be direct and
unequivocal — in much the same way that trees
and bridges exist. They are conceived as
part of the environment and not designed to
function in a limited gallery context. That is,
public sculpture, apart from the literary and
decorative functions associated with it.
