Ebb and Flow
The sculptures of British artist Sukhi Barber often show figures in a meditative pose, with parts of their physical structures erased, completely empty. The emptied parts appear in the form of holes, layers, cuts, blocks and lines within a metal frame. These do not render the body weak or hollow, but rather illuminate the intangible component of the human being, which can be just as powerful as the concrete, visible element.
The artist writes in her statement that her work "presents negative space as being as important as the material itself, implying the dance of form and spirit, a constant state of transformation".
