“Imperfect geometry for a concrete quarry consists of approximately 3,500 concrete blocks laid out in their strict repetitive geometric pattern. Here, Nelson allows the suggestive and enigmatic patterns of Oriental art to encounter and tie in with Western art’s rational minimalism. The work influences us physically through its weight and size but also intellectually via its almost meditative nature. In the raw concrete surface each block bears traces of its own process of inception and production.” via Domus https://www.domusweb.it/en/news/2016/03/14/mike_nelson_imperfect_geometry_for_a_concrete_quarry.html
