Cutting the Floors and Walls
The art of Robbie Rowlands. It is very interesting how he cuts the wall and floor to create a visual effect.
Notes about Rowland by Simon Cooper:
Inside the house, sculptor Robbie Rowlands had reworked the kitchen area. Rowlands had cut a cross-like groove into the floor, peeling away the section of wood but leaving it attached to the floor so that the flat surface was now occupied by a sensuous curved object that was both separate and connected to it. The result created both an excess of physical substance (raised material in what ought to be a smooth surface) and a lack of it (the hole in the floor). This play of presence and absence connected with the roof above, and also indicated the status of the house itself, a house whose presence as an emerging work of art was only possible due to its immanent destruction. The physical confrontation with an uprooted section of the floor was complemented by a more gentle play of light and shadow.
