Twelve Soups 2003

Charles Long's 2003 sculpture, "Twelve Soups," is a stark, minimalist piece that juxtaposes a rigid, white wire grid with a single, flowing form partially draped over it. The grid's repeated geometric lines create a sense of order and confinement, while the draped form, possibly representing fabric or cloth, offers a contrasting element of softness and fluidity. Long's work often explores themes of containment and the human condition through materials and forms that evoke both fragility and resilience. "Twelve Soups" exemplifies this, drawing the viewer's eye to the tension between structure and freedom.
