Adrift, Waterkloof, Pretoria (2010)

Medium: Granite installation | Photos by Elizabeth Olivier-Kahlua

Part of a sculpture I made in 2010, three heads made in grass, I had a commission from a developer to make a sculpture for a quart yard and decided to make one of the heads. We couldn't make it out of the high veld dry grass because it is not a permanent material and therefore made it out of Belfast granite, being South Africa's densest granite at 3 point eight tons per cube. The idea of the work is relating to the deduct series of work I did in 2005, in short you need all of the individual stones to create the whole, so therefore one needs the general to deduce from that the specific.
