Sun Register

Sun Register exemplifies Saret's early post-minimalist sculpture in its use of inexpensive industrial materials and lyrical evocation of the natural world. His use of an unconventional medium-fencing wire-is malleable, indeterminate, and insubstantial, suited to his casually composed and intentionally temporary forms. In this piece Saret subverted the grid like orderliness of the medium and its purpose, the delineation of boundaries. Saret, who studied painting before turning to sculpture, also incorporated painterly gesture in this work, unevenly spray painting the strands of wire in soft shades of yellow and blue-green.
