About The Artwork

Heart: Dimensions Variable, 2005 A solo exhibition at blank projects, Buitengracht Street, Bo Kaap, Cape Town 120 x 120 x 70 cm, 30mm super wood Sasol New Signatures Finalist 2006 Heart: Dimensions Variable (2005) is a volumetric puzzle, constructed by assembling flat puzzle pieces to create a complete three-dimensional icon of a heart constructed on an ‘x’, ‘y’, and ‘z’ axis. The pieces are cut from 30 mm super wood at specific angles that interlock to create the three-dimensional shape, 120 x 120 x 70cm. The work sprouts from the notion that the artist/viewer is able to put parts of information together during the act of art making/viewing, resulting in what is perceived as whole - or as art - but this wholeness is temporary and dependent on either association or recognition. On the one hand, Bester approaches the three-dimensional puzzle as a mathematical exercise whilst engaging and focusing on the process of making. On the other hand, hers’ is a quest into discovering the possibilities of the sculptural object itself: She explores the ways in which the object can be assembled, reassembled and reconfigured in different spaces and to different extent -still recognizable yet always temporal. Dimensions Variable can be displayed in various stages of assembly therefore existing between sculpture and installation.
