dc.descriptiongalvanized steel, plastic extrusion"This spirit of contradiction is at the heart of Hesse's work. 'I was always aware that I should take order versus chaos, stringy versus mass, huge versus small...' she said. A large cube constructed out of aluminium mesh, Accession II (1967-9) is typical in the way it balances competing tendencies. From the outside it appears like a typical Minimalist work, not dissimilar to the floor boxes of Donald Judd or Robert Morris. Closer inspection reveals that the interiors are bristling with thousands of protruding tubes, giving it an organic appearance, like a coating of fur or hair. Another version, Accession III (1968), is made of milky, translucent fibreglass, its luminous surface more evocative of natural materials than industrial processes." -- From Tate Modern: http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/hesse/room8.htm (accessed 7/23/2003)en_US
