A quick mention of Roman Ondak’s great piece at the Tate, St Ives this summer.
In some ways this reminds me of Gormley’s ‘Field’. However, unlike the simple, vulnerable and misshapen mass of a very physical, earthy depiction of humanity, measuring the universe has us as a cloud.
Like a swarm of low-flying insects or a black spray of foul air.
Yet it emphasises the bonds we have to our species, that there is an undeniable commonality between us all despite the differences.
For better or worse, we the black cloud of humankind is in it together.
