The theme of the exhibition is Open/Closed. I imagined closed as being a point which can't be seen and open as a space which which can be. 'There and Back' is like an inflated balloon with its outer center pushed into its inflation point. The perforations and dots literally are opening and closing the view into the internal void thus turning the lights on and off to the viewer . Looking into this piece as being similar to walking through a forest with dappled light as well as the fluid spacial affects of starling murmurations.
Rolly has employed the turned wooden form as a canvas or departure point for sculptural works for fifty years. His themes have almost exclusively been derived from nature and especially from the marine environment. My first experience on a wood lathe was in 1974 as a fine arts student. I have been finding out its capabilities ever since.
