About the artworkBeth Laurin’s sculpture is a contradictory object. It is abstract, yet familiar,
and made of hard polyester in a soft
bend. The dark marbled surface
enhances the organic feeling. It is
shiny and reflects both the sky and the
surrounding branches, like a forest
pond. Part 1 is a magnified detail from
Tillstånd VI (Condition VI), another
sculpture by Beth Laurin in the
Moderna Museet collection, where
the shape continues, forming an open
oval with ends sculpted like faces.
