Abstract Wave 2 Sculpture

Despite being inspired by a wave, this form is not dynamic, but restful and just held in balance: the empty space mostly enclosed by the wave makes space, not volume, the focus of this form. As this space opens up towards the top, there is a looseness, a readiness for change - not a (fore) closure. This form is challenging the limits of sculpture , which usually deal with mass and presence, rather than the absence and letting-go of things. David Blackburn, The Spectator 2012: “Hoffman’s abstract work provokes reflection, too. It emphasises the physical world without referring to the human body. The sequence titled ‘Waves’ is particularly arresting. The waves are not explosive; instead, they are balanced — like a distant breaker rolling steadily towards the shore, where its full potential will be spent in a few seconds.   It is a short leap from seeing potential in nature to imagining it in mankind. Success ebbs and flows, one’s zenith is short, and nothing can stop the march of time. Yet there is always the unknown, the blank space between the curves of Hoffman’s waves, for solace against life’s depressing certainties."
