In his amorphous, floating sculptures Awuah-Darko has made interesting use of cables ties. "The poetry of that mechanism is that once you squeeze it, you can’t undo it. There’s a permanency to it. That was quite cathartic. In a way it ties to another motif in my practice: this exploration of identity and how we are bound by certain social structures, or our perception of ourselves. By words. By thoughts and other isms," he notes.
Soft Landing runs at the Nirox Sculpture Park until Wed, Nov 15.
