Sum, Plaster, dimensions various (wall length approx. 20').
  "... From a distance, the piece follows the irregular contours of the gallery wall, whose idiosyncratic bulges and crevices call to mind a grotto. The work undercuts any rigid separation between figure and ground, a bit like a ritualistic cave painting..., More over, there is an intriguing disequilibrium between the more intimate and distant views in relation to Liu's sculpture. When the spectator comes in close, he or she hits upon shapes that trigger idiosyncratic projections. Some of the conglomerations of plaster are crystalline, or brittle like fossils. Others are voluptuous like portions of the human body. As the viewer attends to such details, a sense of the whole is both jettisoned and strangely present in the encounter." — Guggenheisman Guide, by Chris Bennett
