Hexagon: Video Tour
Video tour of ‘Hexagon: A new collection of sculptures by Edmond van der Bijl featuring the Hexagon Series’ opened on January 23, 2010 and will run until February 1, 2010. Artist Statement for the show: The common or everyday object is reconfigured, challenging the associations one might have of the object on its own. the resulting object puts into question its original functionality and proposes a new one: an object of aesthetic value. The process involves multiplying the unit by itself and results in structures that echo organic forms found in nature. A tension is created between the manufactured qualities of the units in their original state and the natural profiles they acquire as sculptures. |
