Practicing in a formalist style prominent in the 1970s, Reg Parker aspired to create sculptures in which each component depended on the presence of the other for support, and for the very existence of the whole. This is evident in the monumental sculpture Untitled 1/76 which presents two angular shapes resting upon one another. Untitled 1/76 was gifted by Parker to McClelland before his death in 2011.
