GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Consisting of five separate yet related elements of metal, concrete blocks, and forged wire beams, One-Stop Gallery, Iowa City looks like a giant assortment of strange toys that have been spilled onto the gallery's floor. Ray introduces ideas of suspension and risk and of the elegant, machine-like pleasure of formal precision. The work teases the eye and mind to explain its odd dual sense of playfulness and danger.
Excerpt from
Charles Wylie, Label text, Celebrating Sculpture: Modern and Contemporary Works from Dallas Collections, 2003.
