Dialectic De Agua 1999

"Dialectic De Agua" (1999) by Douglas Abdell is a striking sculpture that incorporates a rough-hewn stone slab with carved, recessed squares placed atop a simple wooden table. The raw, natural elements of the piece are juxtaposed with the precision of the carved squares, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay between organic and geometric forms. This piece is characteristic of Abdell's interest in exploring the relationship between form and function, as seen in his use of everyday materials.
