APPREHENSION, 2009
"Apprehend with apprehension. We think we know the world around us – but really what we know is – us. Apprehension simultaneously is understanding and questioning. A transitional understanding allows us to remain mentally flexible.
One must remember that our shared reality, our culture in the larger sense, is a construct. Things are not necessarily what they appear to be. With these sculptures I am asking for distinctions to be considered between – memory and history, the different forms of sustenance – mental, cultural, physical; allusion and illusion, virtual and haptic.
To charge a mind and change a mind, it takes an open mind to grow. This exhibition endeavours to open up space, physical and mental. It allows for a coming to grips with the world we made - to apprehend." (John Greer)
