"Lovers in Regent's Park is most unusual in the body of my works using lattice structures. In most works I begin with symmetrical units, and when they are put together they form a symmetrical work, according to a preconceived idea. But for the work for Frieze, I begin with 4 asymmetrical units, and then they are put together, by going through various formations without preconceived ideas, until they become a symmetrical work. It now comprises a cube in the centre which sits on the floor, while the triangles project themselves from 4 sides of the cube. It was quite difficult to arrive at its final stage, and what came out of it gave me a surprise."

The interlocking sections are open prisms constructed out of a series of triangles, rotated and orientated in different ways. 'Lovers in Regent's Park' demonstrates Araeen's Development of a minimalist tradition which he first engaged with in the 1960s.
