This assemblage is based on the character Odysseus, the hero whose quest to achieve a successful homecoming forms the basis of the Odyssean narrative. Homer describes Odysseus as a successful and mentally dexterous warrior, adept at extreme endurance. In the Odyssey, Odysseus is the central character as well as a second (although unreliable) narrator. ΜΗΤΙΣ serves here as an epithet of Odysseus and refers to skill in counsel or device, astuteness, shrewdness, contrivance and scheming

South Africa
The only artist on the planet who explores the compositional methods of ancient Greek poets through the medium of contemporary sculptural assemblage. Unique, obscure, and totally off-trend. In literary translation the content of oral-formulaic poetry is often more effectively conveyed than its form. The sculptural assemblages on this page serve as a visualization or ‘aesthetic translation’ of the formal artistry of two ancient Greek epics – Iliad and the Odyssey. The result is a visual exploration of correlations between what the poems say and how they say it. Each individual sculpture functions as a personification of a character from the Homeric epics. Each set of sculptures represents a ‘composite object portrait’ that depicts Homer not as a person, but as a continually adaptive constructive system.
