Richard Deacon

Deacon work is heavily based around natural and human form , inside and out, in the shape and conposure of his sculptures. This gives his work a flowing natural feel. this is also represented in his use of media , be it metal, wood or plastic.
This piece ("orinoco", named after the north american river) is made of wood, represents the trasition of liquids when traveling and shows the natural patter fluids take.
The fluidity of this sculpture and the form that it creates gives a kinetic feel. this makes the sculture interesting for the viewer as it gives rippling, flowing shape for the viewer to follow, these overlap and intertwine and guide the viewer out and around the sculpture.
