Notes | This piece reveals Baldwin's sculptural approach to making, combined with an interest in the vessel. He works in a highly intuitive way, leaving the form to 'settle down' for a while before returning to work on its surface. His abstract, painterly surfaces draw on a wide range of influences, from geometry to the effects of weather and time on the natural landscape. | | Purchased by the Friends of Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery with 50% grant-in-aid from the National Art Collections Fund, 1997. |
