Further information:
"There should always be parts of stories, fragments, remembrances orbiting in our heads: sometimes they brush against each other, sometimes they connect and sometimes they deliberately ignore each other. These fragments won't rest until they find their other; or until a hand reaches out and grabs them and assembles them into a thing. A visual equivalent are those amphora that have been pieced together — the cement still evident between the shards. Some of the original pieces may be missing and need to be guessed at and reconstructed before they can be assembled into the whole. It is in the cement between the fragments, and in the missing pieces themselves where the mystery and the intrigue is. …From The Life of Statues is like those constructed amphora. The real story is to be discovered between the images and the text." Peter Lyssiotis
