    Like many other pieces made at this time ‘Fragment’ has many connotations despite its simplicity. The moulded form with its torn edge and partly crumpled, partly ribbed surface is like a fragment of a canvas or Ingres paper on which the viewer can project his own meaning – a window opening onto the sky? a human figure? strange triangular footprints? Though called ‘painting’ (note, not a painting), it is paradoxically, a piece that could easily be used.
