Goodman Gallery The works, exhibited in the grounds of the Goodman Gallery, consist of larger than life-size figures made of ceramic and bronze. The sculptures are fractured and distorted. Their awkward forms convey a sense of bodily incoherence. They allude to experiences at the other side of appearance - quivers of meaning just out of reach of consciousness. They are shadow figures from shadow lands. These sculptures are beings poised, unknown and knowing, in-the-world and yet separate from it. Anthony Gormley, the British sculptor noted that, "at the other side of appearance is a space far greater than the space against which, traditionally, the body is figured". It is this ephemeral space that the figures recall. (Wilma Cruise 2000). |
