A Throw of Dice Will Never Do Away with Chance, 2003
For this piece that is based on a die, Tom Phillips lettered the text in varying numbered circles. the lettering is in the style of his text based wall sculptures where each letter is linked to adjacent ones. The text is the title of the poem "Un Coup de Des Jamais Abolira le Hazard" by Stephane Mallarme. Phillips writes that, " the first line of the foundation poem of chance procedures (and concrete poetry in general), outlines another dilemma which I translate as 'A throw of dice will never do away with chance'. Each dot on these giant dice incorporates the line and through the mysteries arising from the solid geometry of a transparent cube each "throw" gives rise to new configurations as chance plays its second role. Looked at from the sides, from the corners and from above, the cube's symmetry produces illusions and paradoxes of perception, hints of mirrors and fractures appropriate to each of these statements." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
