The work is from the series the artist called "Imaginary Portraits". The sculptures from that group mark an important shift in Tucker’s practice: by taking a significant fragment of the body, the head, and transforming it into a fictional portrait, Tucker is able to stretch the tension between abstraction and figuration even further. Thus, the Imaginary Portraits become “characters”. William Tucker explains this in a conversation with Joy Sleeman: “Character can emerge from a process, as opposed to ‘identity’ which is a foregone conclusion.” In these eight sculptures, William Tucker saw an opportunity to harness the potential power of images: to confront the repressed and capture the figuration that haunted abstract sculpture.
