About The Artwork
This drawing forms part of a set of drawings created while producing a series of sculptural assemblages titled "A Catalogue of Shapes". The aim of this series was to depict the ancient Greek poet Homer not as a person, but as a compositional system through the creation a series of composite object portraits of twelve characters drawn from the Iliad and the Odyssey. Kirke ΦΑΙΝΩ is a representation of the Goddess Circe. Her transformative aspect (she turns Odysseus' men into swine) is expressed by means of the Bundt mould.The function of the drawing is to establish such compositional aspects as proportion, colour, pattern, etc. of the various found and fabricated elements I plan on using in the sculpture.

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.
