“Su Lupasco Washington’s imagination expresses itself most adventurously in the extraordinary ceremonial arch which spans the steps leading up to the gallery, clay and metal are dramatically divided. A mighty chunk of a tractor tyre supplies one side of the arch, supported by a writhing mass of assorted mechanical innards. The other side is created from a decorative medley of fish shapes and urn forms of coloured clay. The result is undeniably eccentric but splendidly imposing.”
