On the 22nd of February we went to the Michael Stevenson Gallery and were presented with a single exhibition by Wim Botha and photographer Daniel Naude.
Wim Botha's exhibition featured two large-scale sculptural installations.
The first one consisted of very dark, dense and heavy figures. The faces were all carved from old bibles and dictionaries, encyclopaedias and wood. They were all hung up in the air.
Example of his work:
I thought this was interesting because it sort of talks to you in a way- it may represent the amount of knowledge a person has and how much knowledge a person has in comparison with another person.
In his second exhibition, the sculptures were all carved using polystyerene. The whole idea was to interpret scenes of battle and conflict.
