For Those Who Have Ears #2 1983

"For Those Who Have Ears #2" (1983) is a sculptural work by British artist Richard Deacon. Known for his abstract, minimalist sculptures, Deacon uses industrial materials like steel, wood, and plastic in unexpected ways. In this piece, the artist creates a form using interwoven strips of wood that resemble both organic and man-made objects. The sculpture's sinuous curves and organic shapes suggest a natural, flowing form, but its industrial material and deliberate construction point to its human-made origins. The piece is characteristic of Deacon's interest in the relationship between natural and artificial forms and the inherent qualities of materials.
