"There is a kind of reference to ecclesiastic form here (there is the candelabra, and there is a kind of chalice form), so that in many ways this invokes a kind of spiritual requirement and association, rather than the survival characteristics in the "Invocation I" series. What I have done in the three is to try to see all of these put together and to symbolize a quality that gets outside even of the third category. It perhaps embodies most of the forms that I have done in this one structure."
