Status
On viewLabel TextThrough the decades, the artist created sculpture that referenced miseries or anxieties encountered in school from childhood through college, as well as other challenging experiences in organized social encounters. Sometimes these public induced miseries kept King from fully functioning and enjoying life. Solo expresses the exhilaration of triumphantly surviving those miseries and boldly anticipating what it is to individually address and conquer our personal anxieties.
