Object Detail
About the Work
"In
the
late
1970s
Matt
Pine’s
work
became
increasingly
ephemeral
and
site-responsive.
This
drawing
is
of
one
of
his
‘Environmental
Works’
entitled
Ring
Piece
that
he
installed
in
three
outdoor
locations
between
1978-1979.
The
ring
was
suspended
by
a
pole
and
cord
tensioning
system
to
demarcate
the
central
point
of
an
outdoor
man-made
space.
In
this
drawing
the
central
ring
is
drawn
as
an
oval.
It’s
a
simple
detail,
but
very
important
as
it
creates
the
feeling
of
standing
with
the
physical
work
and
looking
across
it,
as
opposed
to
looking
down
on
it
from
a
bird-eye
view.
Throughout
Pine’s
oeuvre
he
produced
many
finished
drawings
of
realised
sculptures,
such
as
this
one,
that
provide
a
conceptual
and
spatial
experience
of
the
3D
work
on
a
2D
plane.
I
admire
the
quietness
and
clarity
of
this
drawing."
