The work Bower which Richard Morris exhibited in Sculpture 28 is an assemblage made largely of painted wooden panels, and remnants of domestic furniture. There is a distinct relationship between the blue perimeter of the work, and the yellow oval form in the upper RHS, which play on the enclosed form of a literal Bower bird nest. The juxtaposition of a reductive palette plays a significant role in the work, creating a distinct asymmetrical compositional tension between the use of metallic blue, and yellow. Bower has both a figurative reference to a vertically oriented Bower bird nest, and a reference to the Abstract via the planar geometric furniture elements which constitute it’s peripheral form.
