'Approaching the different and manifold sequences in this
book...one will gradually come to realise that metamorphosis can
become an ideal for knowledge, a guiding path for self-knowledge
and knowledge of the world - as intuitive contemplation and as
artistic creation.' - Dr Peter Wolf What is metamorphosis? Through
the medium of art, sculptor Gertraud Goodwin invites us to enter
the realm of time and continuously changing movement in this highly
original book. With chapters by various artists and writers,
interwoven with her key insights, Goodwin offers numerous points of
entry to understanding the mystery of metamorphosis.
Profusely-illustrated in colour, we are shown many sequences of
images - of sculptures, reliefs and graphic works - which, with the
aid of informed commentary, we are invited to 'read'. These images
belong together, developing from one to the next - just as single
experiences and events in life belong to our biographies. One
motif, one movement, passes through all stages, from simple
beginnings and more differentiated formations, to a culmination -
and, from there, back to a more mature simplicity and
concentration, which makes a new beginning possible.' In relation
to the transcendent, where ordinary words fail, the language of
form, texture and relations in space, like those of music in time,
offer alternatives to words, perhaps less encumbered by
preconceptions. These pages offer many examples of the beauties and
mysteries of metamorphosis, which is itself an essential component
of Nature's creative language.' - Dr Philip Kilner
