The small sculptures may be seen as architectural models or designs for monuments. They are simply artist’s maquettes, often a valid end result even without being realised at full scale. However the potential for full size development will always exist within the maquette. Maybe that potential is only realised in the viewer’s imagination, where it can be more powerful.
