Omdop van Doodsekerheid

Angus Taylor

2012

20 Stellenbosch

If we choose to be buried when we die, a six-foot-deep hole is dug. Taylor has taken the soil that would have been excavated for a grave and given it shape. His sculpture then takes on monolithic proportions as it rises above our heads, literally confronting us with our deaths. What we profess to know seems very little indeed when we are presented with the realities of our mortality, the nature of consciousness and what happens when we die.
