Emergence: Transition I, 1945

The first piece of sculpture after "Spatial Construction"

"I think the title is a little obvious but it is meant to be that, namely that is was a kind of growing out, and the first appearance of a form that I found to suggest itself as a result of that first spacial construction, in all of its irregularities. The forms themselves are ones that seem to indicate embryonic emergence."  [Theodore Roszak Interview with Elliott, 1956, p.13]
