Only things can come out of this...Critique on Ollie Place

Only things can come out of this...

I say this because I have learn that concept, context and form of any Art work have to be considered and put together as one piece, and when that doesn't happen the work loses meaning.
I was expecting more from this piece of work and I believe that the potential is there however other considerations have to be put together before it becomes an exception.
I think that when we only consider the form of a piece we are taking risk of it becoming only what it is and nothing elses. To make it harder we have to analyse and desconstruct whats in front of us without many references and that is hard work. I am sure that isn't the intentions of the artist and if so what's the point?
Conceptually I had great expectations, when standing in front of something really interesting to look at, pieces of founded wood creativelly put together in a clumsy manner creating a form that looks like a ramp...and it is a ramp. That's when I loose interest, a ramp...and?
Aren't we forgeting something here...aren't costs, size, transport and other matters important if we only want to say this is it...
