Description

'Unfold' is close in form to the monumental version. However, in the Archive Maquette the surface texture is indicated with coloured marks on the bronze. 'Unfold' seems to be about unfolding a material to reveal its form. The spine is sharp, the contours and edges soft, indicating that this could be a sculpture about unfolding a crisp piece of Irish linen.
