Art Stage 2013 INTERPLAY. Curated by Dr Charles Merewether and Joleen Loh
Bradley explores the constructed dichotomy between man and nature. His recent work employs materials that are taken from the land and rivers of Singapore that are being eroded and destroyed. Drawing upon the history of ropes which were first braided from vines, Foisset’s installation constructed with both rope and vine seeks to disrupt the hierarchy between what is considered manmade and organic. Bringing these materials together, Foisset challenges the concept of nature as divorced from culture, and seeks to propose a non-hierarchical and interconnected relationship between them.
