At the heart of art it is necessary to put the form. Pavel Florensky has truly said: «The form of visible is formed by invisible lines and Divine light paths».
All these 7 plates are called «cuts». What is cut? When we were doing this sculpture of 18 meters, it was necessary to make 26 horizontal cuts. The architect sat with me and noted points by water tubes. And these horizontals have been cut down. The base under the sculpture was 7 meters in depth, 7 on 7. That was the most windy place near Novorossiysk, on the highway from Batumi to Novorossiysk. The actual area of the surface was 300 square meters. And we built all this sculpture from zero on these cuts, on these templates concerning 4 points. I have photos. Plates - templates of my sculpture, I thought out nothing, really 7 plates.
