Cardinal Position
The piece is composed of 4 life-size full back figures sourced from existing archaic Greek sculpture, here used symbolically to represent the four cardinal compass points, implying journey and search. North, South, East and West. The seduction of the unknown causes us to push boundaries and to move forward - personally and as individual parts of a culture, a society. East and West are no longer terminal they have become infinite directions. Global consciousness has forever shifted our orientation, echoes of Ulysses.
