PALE MALE: sitting – walking – standing began as the process of casting my own body in the familiar stances of standing, sitting, walking. I rid myself of all adornments in these positions. The figures, drawings and the stop frame animated video interrogate the axiom that we come into the world empty handed and depart it equally empty handed. The sculpted body and figures in space become metaphors for a spiritual condition. (Louis Olivier August 2009)
The exhibition runs until 3 October 2009
