A Shaded Path (1) , 1987
Scope and Contents
This is a proposal for a straight and level path of 78 clay bricks stamped with names of Virgil in place of the maker's name. The path is to be built indoors, on a level floor, or out-of-doors on any grass-covered level ground without shade. Finlay s walk upon but for the mind to follow. It leads from Carl Andre's brick compositions to an elegiac classicism. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
