Two amorphous objects are presented on a rigid rod. This discomforting combination, hinting at sexual imagery while remaining abstract, is reminiscent of the Surrealist sculptures produced in the late 1920s and early 1930s by the Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti Paolozzi had befriended in Paris. While alike in shape, they oppose each other in alignment and direction, leaving room for interpretations of a balanced dialogue as well as a potential conflict.

Born in Edinburgh of Italian parents, Paolozzi was a sculptor, collagist, printmaker, film maker and writer. In 1947 he had his first one-man show at The Mayor Gallery Ltd in London, and in the summer of that year he moved to Paris. He remained there until 1949, meeting artists such as Arp, Braque, Brancusi, Giacometti, Jean Hélion, Léger and Tristan Tzara. He was attracted to Surrealist art and ideas and was also impressed by the art brut of Dubuffet.

From an edition of no more than six: one cast in the Tate Gallery in London, another in the Dean Gallery in Edinburgh and a fourth one in private hands. It is not known where the two other casts are, or if there ever were completed.
