The first paragraph attracts the reader with the pertinence of a general experience which is central to the understanding of the work . Then the author presents the artist and the exhibition. In the core of the text Lucy Li easily combines deep and meaningful comments with a clear description of the exhibited works. There is no need for a conclusion because the reader gets convinced that Ian Hamilton Finlay is a great artist/poet and that David Nolan’s exhibition is a must to be seen.

I’ve been following Finaly’s works for decades, the words that come to mind when I think of his sculptures are “poetic” and “beauty”. They are curiously absent from this essay, but are alternatively demonstrated in her stunning prose (and other poems and essays on literature), particularly in the highly physical, fascinating formal analyses.
